Step 3. Installation

It is fairly easy to install the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server software.

However it is good best practice to develop installation skills on a test server first, before doing a production server installation.

Below are screenshots of the most important parts of the installation.

  • Use the "TAB" key and arrow keys to move between items.
  • Use the "SPACE" key to select items.
  • Use the "ENTER" key to activate controls/buttons.

Hostname

Disk Partitioning

DSpace User

Install Software
