    23. How to make UEFI bootable ubuntu installer USB pendrive
    24. Use mkusb on Linux. mkusb is a tool on Linux. It makes a UEFI bootable ubuntu installer USB pendrive. It is very easy to use if you have a good pendrive. See Note below.
      Note: it is recommended to use a "fast" usb drive, eg. Toshiba. If you use a slow usb, it only boots and runs very slow. I tried two usb drives; one fast, the other slow. It clearly differs in The writing speed by mkusb and also runnning speed.
      1. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/gui
        $sudo add-apt-repository universe  # only for standard Ubuntu
        $sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa  # and press Enter
        $sudo apt update
        
        $sudo apt install mkusb
        $sudo apt install usb-pack-efi    # for UEFI
        $sudo apt install mkusb-plug
        
        $sudo mkusb

  1. ubuntu on PenDrive
    1. I am developping this websites with ubuntu installed in pendrives. Everytime I lost pendrives, I need to install ubuntu on a new pendrive, thus I often install ubuntu on a pendrive.
    2. I am now using the installation pendrive without installing Ubuntu. At least it is working except Japanese language installation.
  2. 18.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS: install on pendrive
  3. Both took 5 hours to intall. Installation disk runs stable and fast. However,
    1. 18.04 LTS failed install a couple of times. Is it not stalbe, although it is called a stable edition.
    2. 16.04 LTS installed successfully. But it boots really slowly and runs unbearably slow.
    I installed the both system on the same USB pendrive. Maybe the problem is the pendrive, not the Ubuntu. I need to check which has the problem. update: I tried a couple of USB memories. Conclusion: all the same; sooner or later it becomes slow. (Toshiba 4GB one seems to run fast until disk space is consumed.)
  4. ubuntu setup quick reminder for myself
  5. automatic install: apache2, emacs, subversion, ssh-server. automatic setup for apache2.
  6. I just installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS again, this time, on external HDD. 230GB old one. install has been done in less than 10 mins, once you click "start install", after you made your partition table, which is much much faster than on a pendrive. It is like a magic. I wasted a long time for using pendrives... I am using old computers, but it is now very fast and comfortable. It should be like this, when you use a Linux distribution!!!
