You may encounter an error when trying to boot from the USB drive, something like "Missing operating system". You can run the tool from your normal desktop, just insert the Ubuntu Live CD and run it.

Simply run the Live CD, install the tool and start the Live USB installation from the System administration menu. Live USB creator automates the process of creating a bootable Live USB system from a running Ubuntu Live CD. Live USB creator (GUI-based, runs from Live CD) You can use the drive normally when not in the Live environment, and access it from the Live environment through a loopback. The USB drive has a single normal partition on it, with a casper-rw image and a boot directory for GRUB. You can also use the built-in GRUB to launch other disk images, like MS-DOS or memory test. Persistence is setup automatically, so it will remember any changes you make between reboots. You can use this to install Ubuntu onto the computer's hard drive by using the Install icon on the desktop. When you boot from USB, it will show you a GRUB menu with one option in it, which will then take you directly into the LiveCD environment.
This will install the LiveCD environment from your install CD onto the USB drive. You may or may not need to rename ISOLINUX.BIN to SYSLINUX.BIN, but it won't hurt.ģ) Move up to the top level and rename the ISOLINUX folder to be SYSLINUX Optional: If you need to activate the original Ubuntu livecd boot menu, for example if you want to disable the framebuffer or read the Ubuntu livecd HELP screens and cheatcodes, please make these changes to your USB drive after your UNetbootin installation is completed:ġ) Delete the SYSLINUX.CFG file or rename it to be SYSLINUX.OLDĢ) Enter the ISOLINUX folder and rename the ISOLINUX.CFG file to be SYSLINUX.CFG.

UNetbootin automates this task by providing a GUI to create a bootable Ubuntu Live USB drive from an ISO file, and can be run from both an installed Windows or Linux system, or from a liveCD.
Current Ubuntu versions can also be cloned directly from the iso file to a USB drive. Most users should use Startup Disk Creator or Unetbootin instead of many alternatives described here that perform similar steps. Ubuntu distributions from 8.04 'Hardy' onwards have 'Startup Disk Creator' a usb-creator tool that creates a bootable USB flash drive from a Ubuntu CD or iso image. Technical details and custom USB Installation Media Have a look at GeeXbox () apparently it works very well with FreeNAS, though I don't know if it will solve your problems.This article does not follow the style standards in the Wiki Guide.
So the front end access to this data seems to me to be the potential sticking point for you & FreeNAS. Usually once FreeNAS is set up, it would be run headless & you access its great configuration/monitoring GUI via your web browser from wherever using a username/password.Īny computers that you have made a connection to FreeNAS with you can access FreeNAS from, streaming video/audio media, images or whatever, FreeNAS doesn't care. Though it didn't say anything about it being able to have a desktop GUI so run a media center front/backend. :-)įreeNAS looks nice from my quick reading of it. Then for me, (who has a deteriorating memory) writing up a how-to gives me a step by step recovery procedure in the future if/when I need it, & has the very welcome added feature of making it easier for someone else too.
The way I see it with that lot, is once you have it set up the first time, you back up all of your configuration files into multiple safe places.

If I get inspired I'll do a how-to on setting up FreeNAS, NFS, Transmission watch directory (which is the fiddly part) so FreeNAS can be a torrent slave. I'm in the process of trying to organize parts, from two sources, one has posted what I require to his supplier, so I expect a quote this coming week, which if I give the go ahead, it should (depending on availability of all components) mean I could have the parts by next weekend. If/when you end up doing that, would you mind doing a little write-up about it here on the forums or on your site? I would love to read about that.
