[lubuntu-users] Boot Lubuntu from USB bios & uefi

[Wilbert Heeringa]

Dear all,

For a course in Ivory Coast I want to distribute USB sticks with Lubuntu
Linux and a Docker container inside. Docker works only for 64 bits OS, so I
need a 64 bits version.

Since I don't know whether the students' computers work with BIOS or UEFI,
it would be great to create bootable pendrives that work for any computer.

I studied a bit about syslinux and found this very complicated, and also
very risky. This is simply too much for me.

I looked around further and found this site:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS

with a repository of images at:
http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/uefi-n-bios/

made by Phil Whiteside. That looks wonderful. My question is now: is there
also a 64 bit version available? For some it is explicitely indicated that
they are meant for i386 (so I should not use them), but I feel unsure about
the other ones.

Also: we buy either 8GB or 16 GB pendrives. Which image would work best?

Best regards,

Wilbert
