 In this document we outline the process for installing the Myplc controller on a Fedora 8 VM. I'm essentially following the instructions from: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GpoLab/MyplcReferenceImplementation this page].

 Once this is done the fedora system should be operational and through the vnc session (now at external3:5901) you should be able to modify settings. I opted to let it preform the 280+ updates, and then edited the sudosers list (by running visudo as root, you will have to su -) to enable the wheel group with out passwords (there was a life for this, I just uncommented it). I then added native to the wheel group, thus giving it sudo privlage. SSHD comes installed by default, so using the native/.... credentials you can ssh into this box. The current Ip given by dhcp was 10.50.250.20. This is useful since you can't copy paste into a vnc window easily. '''Note''' - by default kvm's vnc sessions don't require a password to connect, so they only "lock out" of the machine comes in the form of gdm/console login prompts.
 
+Fedora 8 is a desktop distribution. There doesn't seem to be a server (Fedora core?) and the install instructions specify fedora8.
