Turn an Old Computer into a Networked Backup, Streaming, or Torrenting Machine with FreeNAS
Is there a way of installing FreeNAS without a cdrom? I have got usb sticks handy that I could use maybe use unetbootin? Unetbootin has FreeNAS in it, but I got nothing but trouble from that version. You can try, but I don't know if it'll work. Do you really have NO CD drives? You can always burn the live cd, Install it from the live CD onto a flash drive (on any computer), then install it from the flash drive to the hard drive of a NAS...
