[03:01] <studio-user766> I'm a dork. I ried installing Xen Server using a flashdrive on to my g505 laptop. not so useful
[03:01] <holstein> should be fine.. if thats the machine you want it on
[03:02] <holstein> i used to use older laptops where the screens were bad/busted as "headless" servers.. with battery backup :)
[03:03] <studio-user766> problem is, I tried creating the installation flashdrive using dd command with a 1meg sector size. I couldn't get it to boot. What did you use to create it?
[03:03] <holstein> to create what?
[03:04] <holstein> i didnt use zen server, for one thing.. but, when im making bootable USB sticks, i just follow the instructions..
[03:04] <holstein> i'll use unetbootin, or simply dd when possible
[03:04] <XenStudio> to create the senserver installation media
[03:05] <XenStudio> sorry, ubuntu reset itself a moment ago. I'm the XenServer questions guy.
[03:07] <holstein> you have questions about zenserver?
[03:08] <XenStudio> Yeah, that studio-user766 guy was my lag ghost from the last instance of ubuntu i had open.
[03:09] <XenStudio> I was wondering what you used to create installation media. did you use dd (the linux command) or if you just created an actual dvd.
[03:10] <holstein> i didnt create a zen server installation media
[03:10] <holstein> but, i just follow whatever the creators of the media suggest
[03:10] <holstein> i use unetbootin, or dd copy the iso, when applicable
[03:11] <XenStudio> oh om that makes sense. I might have been using the wrong sector size for copying the ISOs.
[03:11] <holstein> they should have documentation..
