Not enough Memory to Decompress

[Jbelle]

I made a FreeNAS boot usb using unenbootin and when I boot to usb It starts but then I get an Error that there is not enough Memory to decompress.

Its A DellOPtiplex 960 with @ HDDs 8 gb of Ram.

Can someone help me in the right direction

My guess is unetbootin is doing something to cause a problem. Just burn the iso to disc and install that way. If there is not an optical drive in the computer in question use a different one to install it and then insert the boot drive into the server and go from there.

What size is the USB drive that you used? What are you planning to install the operating system to?

8gb flash drive

8GB flash drive does not meet minimum size requirement

If you're trying to install freenas to an 8GB flash drive, that's not a large enough. If you're using a 8 gigabyte flash drive as the medium from which to install, that's different.

I took the FreeNAS iso and used Unenbooten to make a usb bootable image.

You used to be able to boot from the installation media and then install to the same media, but you can't do that anymore. The 8GB USB stick is listed as the bare minimum with 16GB recommended.

The specific hardware you are trying to use is at the very bottom end of what might work.
You should review the recommendations in the resources section of the Forum.

A lot of ISO writing utilities take apart the image and modify it. Please don't use those. The User Guide talks about which utilities have been tested. If an unlisted utility is used, please make sure it just writes the binary image to the USB stick, like dd or Rufus in dd mode.
