Acid install by USB

trying to install Acid to an HP Thin Client 5740E, vis a usb and I get a “unable to download the kickstart file”

I have tried all kinds of different installers (rufus, isotousb, unetbootin, ect) but all come up with the same error

the other option was to to recompile , if that is what they want, but it suggested to change a line of code in the .iso file…way above my head at the moment. Any ideas?

Just trying to get an Allstar node to run wirelessly using this HP 5740E, which does have a built in 2.4/5.6 Ghz.wireless card

The ACID distro was never meant for usb iso. Nobody seems to want to
modify it for that and its now obsolete. So I suggest the DIAL
distro which can be burned to a usb stick.

I dont know if it has the drivers for your wireless nic though.

Might have to deal with that afterwards.

Try it and see if it works.

By the way when you burn the usb stick, do a direct image burn or

“DD” with Rufus.

DIAL will support the card. I did not come up with a user friendly way to configure it. I will work more when I have time.

I installed DIAL via a USB stick using rufus. Works fine. You have to go into command line and mount the usb stick as /cdrom and unmount it once it attempts to setup apt.

Cheers,
Jesse
