Hence repurposing or simply installing the OS on existing h/w is the way I'd go about it. Yet another option is to use an old HDD (or partition) and installing the OS on it.Īll of them are cheaper alternatives to buying an old PC or VortexBox machine.Īlso, the way I see it, its only for a limited run till all the CDs are ripped and you won't have the need/use for it after that. Last time I checked it was not possible, but everything from FreeNAS to OMV can be run off a USB these days. Or check about installing the VortexBox OS itself on a USB and booting from the USB for the duration of the project. Of course settings would be done remotely from a separate PC.
Will that completely wipe Windows off and essentially turn the Vortexbox into a "headless" machine? So you just turn the power on, wait for it to properly load and put a CD in and it does the rest? Installing the free Vortexbox software on an old PC?
Doing some more reading, I think I understand what you guys are hinting at in terms of old PC's.
