Lab 7 Preparation

Now that you have your Linux-1 system on your external drive, you will need to clone two copies of it as Linux-2 and Linux-3. You will use these as a small private network for some of our class work.

To prepare, do some work with VMware Workstation, moving the focus in and out of your virtual machine, perhaps mounting USB sticks and configuring your system. This will help you gain familiarity with the use of VMware. You should also explore the menus for VMware Workstation and even read the help material.

In order to get ready for cloning, power off your Linux-1 system from inside that virtual machine (if all else fails, enter the poweroff command from a terminal window).
