Configuring a thin client to boot from a hard disk, USB or
flash disk (CD install)
Step 1: Downloading the thin client OS
Download the 2X ThinClientOS image as an ISO file, called
2XThinClientOS_<version number>.iso from:
http://www.2x.com/thinclientserver/
Step 2: Burning the ISO image to a CD-ROM
Now burn the downloaded image to CD-ROM. To do this:
• If using Windows XP and Nero Burning ROM, simply go to
menu “Recorder”, choose option “Burn Image…”, and select
the downloaded .ISO file.
• If using Linux & K3B, simply go to Burn CD. Select the ISO
image and click 'Start'.
• Use good quality CD-ROM (avoid CD-RW) media which is
known to work with your CD-ROM drive.
• Burn the CD as a finalised single session using track-at-once
(TAO).
Be sure to make a backup of all data before attempting to install.
