Installing Debian - Part 2

Select a hostname for this system. We recommend sticking with "validator" for the hostname, as shown below:

Debian Installer - Hostname Selection

Select a domain name for this system. My personal validation server uses the domain "home.palegray.net", since this is how I group most of my development machines together. Select a domain name that will be for internal use only.

Debian Installer - Domain Name Selection

For simplicity's sake, we choose "Guided - use entire disk" as the partitioning scheme. Remember, this server is only intended to function as a network appliance for development support, so we don't care about custom partitioning schemes or hard disk encrpytion.

Select the disk to partition (only of importance if you have more than one hard drive installed in the system):

Debian Installer - Disk Partitioning - Disk Selection

Select the option to have all files installed into a single partition:

Debian Installer - File System Layout

Confirm the hard disk layout by pressing "Enter" and then selecting "Yes" to continue:

Debian Installer - Disk Partitioning Confirmation

Debian Installer - Final Disk Confirmation

Continue: Installing Debian - Part 3
