We are going to create a directory to mount the contents of the USB disk and then mount the iso to the virtual /cdrom device. Note where your USB device is (in my case sdb, as I have only one HDD in my server). Confirm that you want to open a shell and write: dmesg | grep SCSIĭepending on your hardware you should see something like Attached SCSI removable disk. Select “Continue” two times and the installer will quit to a menu. It will go through some installation steps and then hang with an Incorrect CD-ROM detected error. Now boot your would-be server with the flash drive we just made. Find the folder named FilesToCopyToUsbRoot and copy menu.lst, grldr and your downloaded Ubuntu Server ISO to the root of your flash drive. It should look like this:Ĭlick Install, then Quit when finished. When done, find grubinst_gui.exe in the GrubInstaller folder and run it as Adminsitrator.

We are going to install it with the help of Grub4Dos and assume you are working on a Windows computer to prepare the USB.ĭownload these files and unzip the directory somewhere on your computer. You need at least a 2 GB USB drive and the Ubuntu Server ISO. This thing just won’t go smoothly and I spent a lot of time figuring out a way that works, no matter what. While the Ubuntu Desktop version installs fine no matter which USB installer you use, the Server version is a different story. So, the first step, installing the Ubuntu Server from USB. It was not my first encounter with Linux CLI, but definitely the deepest – and looking back, I am happy with the outcome. As I too wanted to build a file/download/test-web server for myself, I bought a little Dell Optiplex FX160 and went for Ubuntu. While looking for solutions, I stumbled upon FreeNAS and Ubuntu Server as chioces.
Although backing up the mentioned windows files mentioned in the guide can be useful, before permanently removing windows.Someone asked me a few weeks back about a way to have his files from home available over the internet.
However most things work out of the box with our current kernels. Half of the guide linked at the top is about fixes (bluetooth, wifi, etc). My own notes are more extensive, but this should give you a nice head start. You perhaps want to do this with the Live USB as well for a more stable Live USB as backup. Obviously I haven't got around to actually do this as I continued using windows. Get grub-32bit from the package manager to permanently fix the boot partition instead of our hack.Since you have to reboot before fixing the bootloader, you have to use the grub (rescue) commandline to tell grub where the linux is you want it to boot. It's not a disaster, but it gets finicky. Install Ubuntu through terminal with ubiquity -b I actually installed with the GUI installer, which doesn't give the option to 'continue testing'.Fortunately the device we want to install to still runs windows so Rufus works fine. I have unfortunately not found a linux alternative that can make writable live USBs. Due to ISO mode, it is still writable, so we can replace the.
