Non-Live USB Installation - mdredmond - 03-07-2017
Hi Folks,
I'm pretty new to Linux and know very little... I'd like to create a portable installation on a USB stick with a ability to boot to it from a variety of computers. I know a live installation would be best for this but I'd prefer to do a regular installation. Is it reasonable to expect such an installation would be widely compatible with most modern computers I might want to use (e.g., hotel business centers, etc.)? Does LL autodetect hardware and have a local driver repository so it can pull drivers in as it boots? I'm not looking for support for anything beyond a functional desktop with keyboard, mouse, basic display and (sort of important) whatever printer might be attached.
Thanks!

This can be done. Research persistent install. A guide to do this using Ubuntu can be seen here:
