Due to the fact that pfSense 2.1 wouldn't detect our Thunderbolt Broadcom NetXtreme BCM57762 gigabit ethernet adapter, we are having a look at ClearOS.
For ClearOS 6.5.0 community edition we couldn't find a USB installer, and the ClearOS CD fails to install correctly. During the installation procedure the anaconda installer aborts due to unavailable installation media. Unavailable media might be caused by our Teac USB CD-ROM drive that goes into power saving mode and then takes too long to spin back up.
We can find a USB installer for ClearOS Enterprise 5.1, which is not the ClearOS version we desire. UNetbootin 5.8.5 doesn't create a USB drive that is bootable. And Rufus 1.4.1 creates a bootable USB stick that stops with a failure during the installation procedure due to unavailable installation source files. How to create a bootable USB stick that installs ClearOS community edition 6.5.0?
