industrialarts Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was able to get my old computer to boot from the flash drive by downloading a live version of Knoppix and using this method (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Bootable_USB_Key). However, I am new to linux and don't know how to change tie name of the volume to UNRAID. I have not been able to fiigure out if I need to make a volume group or just try to rename the volume or what. Can anyone help? BTW, this was a great introduction to linux Thanks industrialarts NOTE: if you try this, skip these steps cp -av /cdrom/boot/isolinux/* . mv isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg rm -f isolinux.bin & cp -av /cdrom/* . rm -rf ./boot Quote Link to comment

industrialarts Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Joe Nope, that doesn't work. And if I do it via format, then the machine will no longer boot from the flash. I need to understand how to use mlabel in Mtools. There is a flag -v that I don't understand. I take that back..... Woo- hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm in! industrialarts Quote Link to comment
