Tonight...

• Quick mention: Laptop installation dual boot steps are online
• Boot CDs are not yet on reserve (sorry). If you want to make your own, though, get the images (you need three) from sites such as http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/current/en/iso/i386/ (note, distro.ibiblio.org is easier to access via http than ftp)
• Useful online resources for help and installation ideas
• OpenSSL installation.
• Apache HTTPD installation.
• The /etc/rc.d/rc.local system startup script

To do for next time

• Select software to install -- any software, and write up your first installation exercise.
• Recommendation: Start immediately, don't wait for the weekend.
• Make sure the link to your work is functional by the assignment due date. If not, email a working link to Prof. Newby.
