Title: Install Zentyal from USB drive
Post by: Marook on 2013-07-17, 16:47

Zentyal does have A "PROBLEM" in it's installer (since the 'old ebox days')
"Right after keyboard identification the installer insists on accessing the cdrom"  :-[ ...and the stick is (mostly) /dev/sdb1)

I am currently installing Zentyal 3.0 from a USB-stick, and had the same problem with the installer insisting on accessing the CD-rom. This worked for me:

• Get the zentyal iso
• Create a bootable USB drive with UNETbootin or LiLi
• Copy the downloaded zentyal iso to the bootable USB and name it zen.iso
• eject USB and insert into target computer, run install until fail
• in the installer menu, choose the enter a shell option
• run the following cmds (where /dev/sdc1 should be your usb device)
  umount /cdrom
  mkdir /mnt/usb
  mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb
  mount -o loop /mnt/usb/zen.iso /cdrom
  exit
• rerun the Detect and mount CDrom option
• done  8)
