===Overview===
After installing from a WeBWorK Live DVD which only requires a few steps, you will have a full fledged Ubuntu system with WeBWorK, Apache2, MySQL, etc. installed and configured. If your network uses DHCP, networking will be automatically configured for your system. If it uses static IP addresses, you will have to configure networking. Also it is imperative that you CHANGE THE DEFAULT PASSWORDS for the OS users <code>root</code> and <code>wwadmin</code> (which has sudo privileges), for the MySQL users <code>root</code> and <code>webworkWrite</code>, and for the WeBWorK user <code>admin</code> which has professor privileges. See the specific instructions below.
