Maybe I'm in way over my head but I"m trying to follow the instructions on Friendly elec's wiki but they're just not clear to me. I just bought my CM3588 recently and a m.2 ssd. I'm trying to use a USB to install OMV like in the LTT video, but I'm clearly not knowledgeable enough to figure it out myself. Does anybody have a guide for dummies or could make a quick video about how I'm supposed to get OMV running on the 3588 if I'm installing with USB? If that's a huge ask, please let me know, because they glossed over it in the video about setting it up and I didn't anticipate being as inept as I apparently am. This is the guide I am using: https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/CM3588#Essentials_You_Need For example: Step 4.3 says some serial parameters but I don't know where to how to set those. I downloaded the programs and the OS install image from the Google Drive shared files. but I can't do anything other than that without help apparently. Where do I install the driver in step 4.4.3.3.1? Step 4.4.3.3.2 is confusing, do I need a TF card at all if I'm using this method? If there is a video out there that I could follow along with would be so so helpful. If I'm already struggling with this part am I better of just selling this stuff and buying an old pc? Or is this just a simple thing that I can learn? Anyways, thanks for the help or answers.

I'm just wondering how I would go about installing OpenMediaVault with just a USB. Do I have to use an SD card? Most of what I know about tech I've learned from the LTT but when I got to the part with the huge google drive folder I am unsure how to proceed. Which of all the files in there do I need to install OMV on the device?

Budget (including currency): $350 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, any game Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): So I'm upgrading from my 1070 Ti. Shopping around for 3000 series cards, it looks like people are finally willing to part with them for the amount I want to spend. I've been waiting for a long time. I go and message a guy on eBay about his 3070 Ti and he offers me his old 8086k, some corsair vengeance ram (32gb kit 4x8gb) AND the 3070 Ti for only $350 but just needs a second to make a different listing including the etras. Does that seem too good to be true? Am I likely just getting scammed?
