I am trying to set up the DNS but I am unsuccessful in copying the samples files to the HD. I used the commands in the Word document but it doesn't seem to work. The files are currently on my windows partition. What should I be doing?

Hi there Miss Babe,
A couple of questions...
Are you running CentOS in a virtual server?
Are you dual booting CentOS and Windows?
Can you see the files when you are running CentOS?
The commands in the Word document will work if you have the files on a cdrom. If you are running Virtual Box you can take a look at the Virtual Box documentation on shared folders.

Windows is my OS with 2 partitions. I am running a minimal installation of CentOS on virtual box. How do I mount the HD with the files?
Jamrock I am going to try the instructions from the link you provided.

Ok getting the virtualbox shared folder to work you need to install virtualbox guest additions. Here's how to get it done:
Before starting you centos vm, on the right hand side to the bottom click on Shared Folders.
Browse to where the folder is that has the files you wanna make accessible and enter the share name.
Next click on Storage and under storage controller select the virtual cd-rom drive and to the right from the cd.dvd device drop down box choose vboxguestadditions.iso
Start the centos vm and once logged in runyum updateyum install gccyum install kernel-develyum install makeRestart vmyum install bzip2
Now we need create the folders that both the cd-rom and the shared folder will be mounted.mkdir /mnt/cdromNow mount the vboxguestadditions.iso to /mnt/cdrommkdir /mnt/netshareDomount -t auto /dev/cdrom-hda /mnt/cdromto verify that it has been mount.ls /mnt/cdrom
Change to the /mnt/cdromNow run the installercd /mnt/cdromOnce complete restart the vm and log back in.sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
Now mount the share folder to /mnt/netshare
Runmount -t vboxsf share_folder_name /mnt/netshareand u should now see the files u needls /mnt/netshare

Thank you very much for your assistance lovepython. I'll see how it goes.

If you are not able to set up the sharing between your operating system and the virtual machine, it would be best to burn the files to a cd.
Lovepython can show you how to set up the shares after class on Sunday.
We will be moving on to DHCP in the next class. It would be good to get DNS up and running before then.
ur welcome babe and yea wat jamrock said
