So I'm downloading an image of an ubuntu-based operating system called smOS from simplemining.net and it's 1.4GB in size. I've got a 16GB Sandisk 3.0 USB Flash drive.
The directions state:
Download to a folder the 1.4GB image file
Install Etcher and use Etcher to flash to the USB drive.
I do this, get a successful flash notification when it's complete, I then use the flash to boot up my mining rig and although it boots and runs... I get errors during the and this is restricting some of the features that I need.
Is there an alternative, more better way of flashing to the USB?
I've got access to a Windows 7 Laptop and also a 2014 Macbook Pro
