Get Configuration Information Ask your network system administrator for the following information. - Your host name ( e.g. Mark5-11) - Your domain name (e.g. mit.haystack.edu) - How your Mark5's IP network interface should be configured (static configuration or DHCP) * If DHCP the appropriate network information will be provided for you. * If Static you will need: IP Address: Netmask: Default Gateway: DNS Servers IP address - root password 2. Replace the old HDD 3. If your system does not have a CDROM attached please see the instructions at the end of the notes. 4. Download all software:

2 - the Debian Net install ISO image from the Debian web site: -> netinst.iso - Streamstor deb package from the haystack website: -> - If you have a Mark5B or B+ system, the mk5bio driver: -> - If you do not have a network connection to your Mark5 system the second ISO image (a self contained install with all appropriate software). -> amd64.iso 5. Burn the Net install iso image to a bootable CDROM, and the second ISO image to another CDROM, if you have downloaded it. 6. Installation of new operating system - Boot up system - Insert the "Debian Net Install cd" * You will see the Debian Splash Screen Options are: Install Choose Install Graphic Install Advanced options Install with Speech synthesis NOTE: Debian defaults to trying to connect to a DHCP server for network information.

Select: ok Step 1: If you will use the network to update execute, else proceed to Step 2: A. apt-get install -y -f fvwm libncurses5-dev libglib2.0-dev libreadline-gplv2-dev xterm ssh tcsh gcc make fort77 dialog finger less bison ntp ntpdate ntp-doc synaptic linux-kbuild-3.2 module-assistant g++ g libstdc++5 libstdc dev gfortran gfortran-4.7 libgfortran3 libgmp10 xorg B. apt-get install -y -f python-tk python-pmw python-cxx python-cxx-dev python-ctypeslib python2.7-dev python-numpy fuse-utils libfuse-dev libfuse2 python-fuse vim sudo tcpdump C. execute: -> module-assitant prepare (this updates the proper header files for compiling kernel modules, e.g. Streamstor windrvr6 and mk5bio package. D. dpkg-reconfigure tzdata - Choose Time zone: None of the above - UTC E. If using ntp servers for time, edit /etc/ntp.conf and fill in with an NTP server close to you F. If you wish for oper account to have sodo privaleges, setup /etc/sudoers using: -> visudo -> add oper to sudo. G. Go to Step 3. Step 2: If you have a self contained 2nd iso image insert into the cdrom and continue, - mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 *** Need to test this, cdrom needs to be mounted (hd?) - # cd /media/cdrom0

6 - #./install-additional-pkgs.sh - -installation of additional packages required for Mark5 - Configuring xserver-cfree86 - Attempt to autodetect video hardware? : yes - Please select the XKB rule set to use : xfree86 - keyboard model description. Ok - Please select your keyboard model: pc104 - Please select your keyboard layout: us - mouse model description: Ok - Please choose your mouse port: /dev/psaux - Please choose the entry that best describes your mouse: PS/2 - Is your monitor an LCD device? : Select: No (Is it?) - monitor display description: Ok - Please choose a method for selecting your monitor characteristics: Select: Simple - Please choose your approx monitor size: Select: 17in (Is it?) - Select the video modes you would like the X Server to use: Enable 1024x768 then Select: Ok - Color depth description: Ok - Please select your desired default color depth in bits: Select: 24 - Default printer resolution: Default: 600 Step 3.
