burning freenas to cd

[sted]

trying to have a look at freenas. Im downloading the i386 embedded file from sourceforge but whatever program i use to try and burn it (for some reason its an img rather than an iso) tried burn img magic iso it wont even open with powerarchiver any ideas?

Nero or Deepburner should do it for you.

 

.iso is here:

 

amd64

 

Download FreeNAS from SourceForge.net

 

and

 

i386

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/nightly%20build%20%28testing%20only%21%29/latest/FreeNAS-i386-LiveCD-0.7.1.5024.iso/download

I found this guide very useful, though it still took a couple of reinstalls to get it right!

worked it out in the end and had it up and running fairly happily as a nas box and as an 100gb iscsi device drive z on my win7 box and file copies werent that slow 20mb /sec (500mb file that just happened to be on my desktop) and thats with the target pc having a pos 100mb realtek in it might have to do some proper work on freenas/iscsi over easter (along with 2008r2 ts and mst2010 and 2 server installs lol)

 

after messing around im more convinced than before iscsi is a good way to go now just need to get a less rubbish test system and shove it in a school with an 08 server
