Installing Ubuntu
Alright, let’s start installing Ubuntu Linux on the server. You can find my hardware specs in previous post in German. First of all download the iso image from an Ubuntu mirror of your choice. I have got the image from the Link below:
After downloading the image burn it to a cd and boot the computer/server from it. Most of the time you can follow the instructions on the screen. I’ve changed the harddisk layout for my needs. Because I’m going to install Xen on the server, I decided to use the following partitioning:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1216 9767488+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1217 1459 1951897+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 1460 13617 97659135 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 13618 30515 135733185 83 Linux
- /dev/sda1 will be mounted to /
- /dev/sda2 is the swap area
- /dev/sda3 will be mounted to /home for storing images for the domU’s
- /dev/sda4 will be exported as one harddisk to a special domU
During the package selection I choose only SSH-Server. Everything else will be installed after finishing the installation. So if everything is ready, reboot into your fresh installed Ubuntu Linux.
