Hi Phill,

I have uploaded a compressed image file of a system for high end
computers, contrary to what I have been working with before.

This is a portable installed system that boots in UEFI as well as BIOS
mode. It can be installed into a USB pendrive and is a good alternative
to a persistent live system, because it can be updated and upgraded
without limits.

See the description in this web page

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS

and it is uploaded to your server at

The method described and the 'final product' as a compressed image file
work for me in a Toshiba notebook according to the following specification.

I don't know how specific or portable it is until tested in other
computers with UEFI.

I think the method is more important than the 'final product' in this
case, and it will be interesting to find out how portable it is.

Best regards
Nio
