One pendrive for all PC (Intel/AMD) computers

Hi again :-)

There is one minor edit:

I wrote 'You can even zsync the Lubuntu daily iso file directly into the
pendrive for iso-testing.' That was to promise too much. I tried, and
found that zsync is slow with a slow drive and uses some features of an
ext file system while we are using fat32. It is better to use *rsync*
(which is also an alternative in the instructions for iso-testing. I
made this script for 'wily-desktop-i386.iso',

--------------------------------------------------------------
echo "***** get/update iso file with  rsync:"
rsync -tzhhP
rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/lubuntu/daily-live/current/wily-desktop-i386.iso
.

echo "
***** check md5sum:"
wget -O md5sums http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/MD5SUMS
grep wily-desktop-i386.iso md5sums>md5sum-desktop
md5sum -c md5sum-desktop
--------------------------------------------------------------

You need space for two versions of the iso file (plus a little extra
margin). The old one is not wiped until the new one is complete.

Best regards
Nio
