Sophos Home UTM USB Install

NashBrydges

So I was able to pick up a very inexpensive Dell PE R210 II that I'll be setting up as a UTM. I've done this installation a dozen times already but for some reason this one is seriously stumping me.

When I try to run the install from the DVD, I get a "install.tar not found" error.

When I try to run the install from USB, I do the following...

- Access console (ALT + F2)

- Type "mount /dev/sdb1 /install"

- ALT + F1 to return to the install and proceed

...and I still get the same "install.tar not found" error.

I then tried to run "fdisk -l" to see if maybe "sdb1" wasn't the correct number boot device but then I get an error telling me that "fdisk command isn't found"

So now I'm stuck where I can't install from DVD and I can't install from USB...completely stuck. Any ideas? Help?

Btw I'm trying to install v9.351-3.1 software UTM.

  • Hey,

    I had same similar issue and it busted my guts for a few days but eventually got there. I used a PC with CDROM and USB. Basically searching the web someone will have the correct answer for you so it was trail and error but life could of been made easier. The solution that worked for me was as follows (full blown as it could help someone else):

    Start from CD or USB (Boot Up) and go through the initial installation config until you get to format disks (try without starting this option and if it fails start this option and continue) and proceed to Console.

    Mounting CDROM:

    mount -o -ro -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /install - sr0 (space) /install same for sda1(space) /install

    Mounting USB:

    mount /dev/sda1 /install

    Hopefully this should resolve your issue.

    Good hunting just needed a better setup config for home use as opposed to the business environment as nothing works unless any<->any and getting the right config setup for gaming\apps etc - oh boy..


    Well at least i found this forum now hopefully it can answer loads of problems
