2/19/2019 - Install 1 TB SSD in comet2 using partitioning scheme above. Andrew activates kerberos and adds me to sudo list. Then begin process of installing needed software all over again!

2/20/2018 -

• New CR 2032 battery installed in comet2 for RTC

• X11 install appears successful, but causes screen freeze early on. Also SELinux complaints...but Karl fixes:

    sudo semanage fcontext -a -t abrt_var_log_t '/var/adm'
    sudo restorecon -v '/var/adm'
    sudo systemctl restart rsyslog

• And adds me to the 'wheel' group so I may use the GUI s/w installer tools.

# usermod -a -G wheel dragon

• The X11 freeze was "solved" by reseating the nVidia card. Will have to see if this is a long-term solution. If not, Karl suggests swapping out the nouveau video driver for the nVidia driver: nvidia-automatic-builds-via-dkms
