Netinstall //FREE\\

I would go with the netinstall as long as you have net access during the setup. The netinstall ISO is smaller and as the ISOs were released several months ago, many of the packages contained on them will have updated versions available in the repos.

Hi, I was updating said router to RouterOS 7.9.1 today and after the download the router rebooted, but never started up again. I let it run for about an hour before unplugging it, the device was power cycling and not starting up. I tried to netinstall it, but in the netinstall app it shows up only for a split of a second and only when connected to eth1. If I plug it in another eth port, it won't do anything. Also when powering up all ports should light up for a second, but some don't do that (11, 12, 15, 16). Is there any chance I can bring it up to life or just toss it in the bin?

This seems to be the same iso. I am surprised that for the netinstall image they diferentiate between Server and Everything. Generally speaking the netinstall is Nothing, and you select what you want to download and install during installation.

But seriously Mikrotik. I know why you did this - it's so one netinstall server can stay running forever and deal with multiple routers reaching out to it for recovery, but there needs to be a HOME version of this for people with only one device that is not built this way. The first part of the netinstall process uses BOOTP and TFTP which work fine in all networks; why does the actual package transfer have to use IP broadcasts?

It depends on your download speed and relaibility of the link. With high download speed and reliable connection I prefer the netinstall. If download speed is low and errors occur I prefer the DVD iso.

I disabled firewall and antivirus. I installed a clean windows 10 32 bit, Windows 7, and even windows xp system for testing. Does not see Mikrotik. I have another Mikrotik model (Map lite) with RouterOS. I can see it in netinstall without any problems. Now I have installed OpenWRT specifically on MAp lite for testing. I see it in netinstall. The problem is with RB951UI-2HnD

I had this exact problem and fixed the issue by using an older version of the netinstall tool that supports BOOTP rather than just DHCP.

When I was running wireshark I noticed I was seeing bootp requests with no response. When I downgraded to netinstall 6.32

-6.32.3.zip

Netinstall responded to the bootp request and I could flash on the older version of RouterOS then upgrade to the latest. The setting for bootp vs dhcp is under the RouterBOARD -> Settings and make sure the Boot Protocol is set to dhcp:

is actually caused because the piwigo directory itself was missing the languages directory it's supposed to have. I used the netinstall script, so I have to assume that something's gone awry in the unzipping process of the netinstall and caused it to stop mid-way.

SOLUTION

I manually unzipped the piwigo-install.zip and used chown to make sure the piwigo directory ownership is correctly assigned.

This got me to the installation page @executive showed above.

You may be offline while you do the netinstall procedure, so download netinstall and correct packages for your router before hand.I used the MMIPS Main Package for my rev 3 hEX device (RB750Gr3).

Looking to upgrade to daedalus via fresh install on both my machines. When installing Chimera originally, I used the Live Desktop installer but I'm going down the netinstall route this time so it's a little different for me. My laptop's wifi drivers are nonfree, and they were included in the Chimera live desktop installer. The netinstall is asking for an external medium with the drivers, which indicates they're not on the netinstall disc.

If I connect my wifi to an ethernet adapter and complete the install, will the netinstall automatically fetch and install my wifi drivers, or is this something I should expect to need to do manually e.g. via apt? If so, any advice on discovering/selecting the correct packages would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the netinstall is meant for computers which have a working (wired) network connection to download everything that is not on this small media. So if the wifi requires drivers most likely they are not included. You either need to use the CD or DVD version, or identify the chip used.

Thanks for the clarity on this! I have access to a wired connection via an adapter, so is it recommended that I continue with the netinstall and then just install the nonfree firmware from the repos? Or should I default to using the Live Desktop or the Desktop installer which comes bundled with the firmware already? I'm aiming for a slim install so that's why I've initially went down the netinstall route.

Thanks for this. I think I'll be getting it from the repos, I was just confused as to whether the netinstall would handle installing the proper firmware for me (ie if it was bundled already or not), but it looks like I'll just be nabbing it from the repos!

The netinstall image is a lightweight ISO (around 150MiB) that will only contain the installer, but no actual RPM packages. Sometimes, it's more convenient/faster when your ISO is on a slow connection (e.g. a virtual media using a server IPMI).

A netinstall image is just a very basic system that can boot into the installer and then download everything else it needs. You will need to have an internet connection to use a netinstall image. You will also want to make sure your network card is supported by the kernel the netinstall image uses.

I eventually hit on the idea of using the Rocky 8 iso and going through the normal installation procedure, but specified a minimal netinstall, pointing at the Rocky 9 repo Index of /pub/rocky/9/BaseOS/x86_64/os/ .

The Mageia--netinstall-nonfree-.iso (formerly known as boot-nonfree.iso) contains additional proprietary device drivers, which may be required for your network device, disk controller or, perhaps other device.

You can find the Mageia--netinstall-nonfree-.iso and Mageia--netinstall-.iso here. It is called Network Installation

You can also dowload these ISOs from whatever mirror you want in this list Just follow the path /distrib/cauldron/$ARCH/install/images/

In the past I was able to make a Netinstall for 10.6.8 and was able to netboot and reimage my client computers but now I have 10.7.3 computers and the old netinstall doesn't work with those. I have tried using the Casper Netinstall Image Creator but when I look into the nbi folder there is no booter file or other folders like my old 10.6.8 nbi folder so my 10.7 computers won't netboot. I really need some help on this. I have 300 computers to reimage! HELP! ff782bc1db
