Will the laptop be returned to it's normal state?

Thanks Computer-User

Hi all,

I am having trouble with UserOs that came on the Australian PC User cover disc in September. I am very new to unix and the setting up of a server.

I have followed most of the directions so far with no real issues, my problem has arisen after I have created my users through Webmin/ Users and Groups.

[UserOS 12.03] after choosing trail mode(install optional) terminal opens in full-screen and only shows (initramfs) what do i do now

Hi PC User,

I'm a regular PC User reader and have just purchased your latest magazine with your great new Home Server OS.

I'd like to know the best way to install and run this OS on a 16Gb USB Flash Drive.

I have recently purchased a HP Microserver which has a USB slot inside the box. Want to adjust the BIOS (if required) and want to be able to boot to this slot with a 16Gb Flash Drive containing your PC Home Server fully installed and don't know the best way to do this.

Would appreciate any help you could offer.

Cheers,

Chris P

Hi, is the UserOS Homeserver 12.03 iso in the March mag alright? I have tried installing about 5x and never get any further then some error messages, never get any login screen etc. I have had more success with the previous version but have removed that version now for the latest. I can get the live cd up and running (and also tried USB install.) No luck whatsoever. I am really sorry I screwed up my previous installation, totally disappointed now.

Hi,
i was wondering what to use to set UserOS Home Server as a mail server if thats possible? also could i use it to run a domain? if so how?

Having successfully installed UserOS 10.10 to a USB key I have tried to install it on a second, larger drive. The installation process was exactly the same but the key refuses to boot with "operating system not found" error message. Thinking it might be the 16Gb key, I tried again on a 4Gb key but with the same result. Also tried from within the successful USB boot. The only difference was that the original, successful USB key was previously used for a BartPE system (also successful).

I am not very experienced with Linux, but I would like to be able to install the Home Server onto a USB thumbdrive, so that I can boot the fully installed operating system from the thumbdrive.

I am not talking about installing the "live" version onto a thumbdrive, so that a DVD-less system can boot from it - I know how to do that.

I want to install the operating system from the "live" system so that I can the boot up a fully functioning OS from the thumbdrive.

I have just installed UserOS 10.10 from the April 2011 magazine onto a USB key. Works a treat !.
However, whilst I can install packages, they seem to be lost on a reboot. How can I install a package (such as Transmission) into the operating system ?

Thanks

UserOS Home Server identifies 3.2GB memory available but there is physically 4GB installed. what might be causing this?
