Hiya guys.. I'd like to make a NAS out of an laptop I got for fixing someone elses computer...
It has no Hard drive and the screen is cracked badly... so at the moment I cant install Amahi... an external monitor works but Amahi uses it as an extended monitor... So all I get as an black screen with a cursor I can more around...
I wan't to install it on an 8GB memory Stick.. This should be possible but i don't know if i can actually do this...
Google has no answers to my problem in this case...
Any advice? Thanks!

Re: Amahi on laptop with busted screen
You don't need that much RAM for a NAS.
And a laptop as a NAS sounds pretty unreliable to be honest. I wouldn't do it.
On-top of that you will have no good way to attach storage devices and setup a hardware RAID system.
If you want a simple NAS, just buy a Synology unit and install some WD Red 2x4TB drives in RAID1.
And if you don't want to do the above, then just do what I do and put tons of HDDs in your desktop and share them on the network.
