delicatepc Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hi folks, So I have what i feel is a pretty dumb question: To install unMenu per instructions: "mkdir /boot/unmenu Download the unmenu_install zip file. [glow=red,2,300]Unzip and move unmenu_install to the /boot/unmenu directory.[/glow] Then cd /boot/unmenu unmenu_install -i -d /boot/unmenu " So I do: mkdir /boot/unmenu cd /boot/unmenu wget http://unraid-unmenu.googlecode.com/files/unmenu_install1371.zip - Successfully downloads tar -xzf un* tar: This does not look like a tar archive" Im not sure I understand I why can't just wget the unmenu zip, extract it, and install it.... Am I completely missing something here? thanks, dpc Quote Link to comment
Spectrum Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Because .zip != .tgz You need to unzip the file using unzip which I don't think is installed by default. Easy solution is to unzip the archive from another machine. If you have unRAID up and running and haven't monkeyed with the defaults yet the flash drive will be at \\tower\flash and you can just unzip the file over the network. Quote Link to comment
delicatepc Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 ahh! thats an excellent solution (SMB in and drop it into the flash). I am coming from a heavy command line NAS so the not being able to unzip was like.... WHAT? OK makes sense. thanks, dpc Quote Link to comment
