Network Management (ICA40399)

In the 1st item of assessable work you have been asked to install SUSE 10.1 along with VMWare player to act as the base for the rest of your work this semester.

You will install Windows XP and Debian Linux as Virtual machines.

In the first stage you need to document how to install Debian 3.1 as a Virtual machine, with just a base set of features without any extra items.

Writing the documents as a blog entry on your blog, and using trackback to refer to this entry.

Welcome to the C122 course for Semester 2, 2006.



If you have not done so, you should create a blog of your own at www.uniblogs.org.

You should write your own entry to introduce (briefly) and upload a photo of yourself.

The idea behind this is to practice using the blog system before you have to use it intensely during the semester.

You’ll find a sample entry if you read the whole of this story.

In Synaptic search for MySql and install, “mysql-server” and “mysql-admin” (this is the administration GUI.)

When it installs type into the terminal: mysqladmin password

This will change the root password to something of your choice. Next, in terminal, type mysql-admin and a gui will appear. Put in Hostname: localhost, username: root, password: what ever you set it to before.

On the left pane go down to “Catalogs” and in the bottom left window make a new “Schema”. Now navigate to user administration, and create a user and apply the changes. Now right click on the new users name in the bottom left and select add host and then select localhost. Now select @localhost at the bottom under the username and go to Schema Privileges. Select your database and then add the appropriate privileges, if the user is the admin for that database give them all the privileges. This will make sure that you can login locally.
