How To Install UNetBootin With IPrediaOS? (IPrediaOS is a Fedora Based System?)

[ddoskat]

Okay so recently I decided to try out the OS known by "IPrediaOS", the major problem after I booted the USB Flash Drive that was loaded to dual boot the i2p based anonymity OS OR "IPrediaOS" and I accidentally didn't realize I had no backup like normal for my Linux Mint OS running prior to the overwrite so what I wanna do considering I didn't back it up is gain su - in terminal and use yum or some method of getting a program alike or UNetBootin to transfer successfully linux mint .ISO file to a USB flash drive if I cant i have no idea what to do in order to switch now to a Linux Mint or Ubuntu based system hopefully you can give me the information I am looking for I have tried a whole bunch and the yum simply errors and says it cant get proxy info...

Does this system have an optical drive in which you can burn a DVD with a different computer and use that to install Mint to this system from?

Or do you have a windows system available to use PenDriveLinux to push the ISO to another USB drive to install from if no optical drive is available on this computer?

Hi,
Did you check the executable permission?

From what I found online it does indeed look like IPrediaOS is Fedora-based.

So first try installing it from the package manager, unetbootin is in the Fedora repos:

Code: [Select]

sudo yum install unetbootin
If that doesn't work, download unetbootin from here http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-linux-latest , mark the file as executable and run it.

I need to download 7zip and the needed tools for support to run UNetBootin because after multiple attempts I finally was able to open UNetBootin via terminal although upon opening it had gave me a warning to download the 7zip program and its plugin files in order for it to run correct and function correct as well but does anyone possible know how and where to get all the files needed to run UNetBootin then and why also can I not run yum update or anything to do with yum via terminal I gone in and opened a terminal box and then used su - and then typed my password correct and got root access only to get the following error after entering the following command:

Code: [Select]

~]# yum update
