USB Flash Drive
A 64 GB USB 3.0 flash drive is recommended to follow along with this project. This drive will be used as the installation media. The SanDisk 64GB USB drive is recommended as it supports both USB type A and C connectors.a
I initially recommended the Gorilla USB 3.0 thumb drives, however, I can no longer recommend these drives for two reasons:
- The newer revisions are no longer recognized by Linux.
- I have experienced 4 drive failures out of my last 18 orders.
I contacted Gorilla Drive for a statement, but they have not responded to my phone calls or emails.
USB Flash Software
To write the EmComm Tools Community ISO image to a USB drive you will need to install flash software on your computer. balenaEtcher is recommended as it is freely available for Windows, Linux and macOS.
