StephenF Posted July 26, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2014 Hi, I have read many of the forum pages and the more I read, the more complicated this appears. I get confused with the vast information and ask for your help as to how to easily install XPEnology on a PC or server. Many of the links I tried to access from this forum are not working. Many different options make it difficult to follow. I am not sure when to use EXSI, VM Ware, SynoBoot, NanoBoot. Also not sure where XPEnology comes into the mix? Can somebody please provide a step by step instruction? e.g. 1. Download all the following files: a. Link 1 b. Link 2. c. Link 3. 2. Install on the USB using . 3. ??????? etc. This information is in bits and pieces all over the forum and will appreciate if somebody can help with a consolidated (no frills) fresh install instruction with all the files in one place. I did read the French document, but this one is also confusing as it does not tie up with other posts on this forum. Thanks Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liukuohao Posted July 29, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2014 Try Poechi's tutorial... just use the transation if needed http://www.xpenology.nl/standaard-installatie-dsm/ Yes, much easier than working out through getting information from the forum! That is for sure Also, using XPEnology does have some caveats, which the forum does not elaborate before you begin. Caveats meaning some function may not work depending on which version of boot image you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unmesh Posted July 30, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2014 liukuohao, Would you be so kind as to describe the limitations off the various boot images? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liukuohao Posted August 2, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 2, 2014 liukuohao, Would you be so kind as to describe the limitations off the various boot images? Thanks. Not a problem, just read at this post: http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3459 The problem is the forum does not have a sticky to show you or warn you about it before you start installing into the hardware. So the onus is up you to "dig out" information from the forum. That is read the post that is related to what you are going to do- Installing Nanoboot. The reason being, I think, I may be wrong here, most forum users are using VM stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
