Many many thanks, Daniel, That helped. I updated bzip2 and uzipped one file. I'm installing it now on a USB thumb drive following instructions on: [ https://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Creating+a+SmartOS+Bootable+USB+Key ]( https://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Creating+a+SmartOS+Bootable+USB+Key ) It seems to saving properly, but I'm wondering... The drive is formatted with FAT. - Should I have reformatted it with something like ext3? - Does it matter if the drive has other files? Apologize for the Mickey the Dunce questions, but that's where I'm coming from.

Hi, It should be only one file. Depending on the download manager or browser you use it might create the .part file during download. curl -kLo smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2 [ https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/Joyent_Dev/public/SmartOS/smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2 ]( https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/Joyent_Dev/public/SmartOS/smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2 ) Should pull down the file and you should be able to decompress and write it to your USB stick. — Daniel On 7 Feb 2015, at 18:50, [ [email protected] ]( mailto:[email protected] ) wrote: Hello, Brand new to SmartOS, but eager to learn. I'm trying to download the USB version of SmartOS based on instructions here: [ http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Download+SmartOS ]( http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Download+SmartOS ) This seems to download two images: - smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2 - smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2.part When I bunzip2 smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2 I get the following error: bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly; perhaps it is corrupted? Possible reason follows. bunzip2: No such file or directory Input file = smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2, output file = smartos-latest-USB.img It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. I've retried the download several times with the same error. So, questions: Why two files? How can I get SmartOS on my USB stick?
