Just wanted to make sure it was possible before i went down a long road with over 60 pi's :-) The first command mentions a config file that dosent exist when i navigate to /boot

echo program_usb_boot_mode=1 | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt

Is it okay to just create any files that are necessary but are not present?

Kind regards and great work so far mate

Its possible but AFAIK there is no documentation to do this on FullPageOS/CustomPiOS. So you will have stuff to figure out, and you are welcome to add it to the wiki for other people in the future.

This is also a good moment to note that you are likely using FullPageOS for a proprietary use, and that I am a 100% volunteer here. So please consider making a donation from the instructions on the README page.

Thanks man! This will likely go to buy a haddrive to backup the build system.

I'd love to know if anyone ever figured this out or not... I'd also like to utilize FullPageOS in a PXE boot setup.
