Having problems installing

[thyristor44]

Hello Everyone, my first post.
I have a 10Zig thinclient, dual core intel atom, 1.33ghz, 2ghz mem, 4gb flash drive. I am trying to install DietPi on to it and run into problems. I get write block 7730 error, no space left on device. What size flash do I need to install DietPi.
Has anyone any ideas what the problem is and how to get over it.
Thanks

Hi,

many thanks for your report. Usually 2GB of disk space should be fine to flash a DietPi image.

Maybe an option for you, would be to install a Debian Mini system first and convert it into a DietPi system later on

Thanks I am trying to install this.The pc I am using has two soldered in flash drives of 2gb that with some systems gives a max flash of 2gb. Could this cause a problem.

[Joulinar]

could be. Probably each drive is seen individually.

Would a max size of 2gb be a problem to DietPi. Any way round it if it is.

[Joulinar]

At least 4GB disk space are required

I moved to a Dell Optiplex PC dual core, 2gbish mem, 2ghz ish, with 120gb hdd and got a similar result: Write block245576 error, no space left on device.
Am I using the wrong image? I am using DietPi_NativePC-BIOS-x86_64-Buster_installer.7z.
Any chance of a link to correct iso.
Thanks

How do you going to flash the img to your disk?

Getting a bit lost here.
I think DietPi is not going to install to the 10ZIG thin client because of its internal flash drive make up. I need a very small OS for its small flash, it doesn't have a HDD. DietPi is quite large so will give this one up.
But thanks for the help so far, I may be back for other applications.
All the best

you lost me somehow. I thought you are going to flash DietPi on a 120GB HDD now?

Anyway, DietPi is one of the smallest and lightweight Debian based system you will find.
