Dear all,<br>
<br>
For a course in Ivory Coast I want to distribute USB sticks with Lubuntu<br>
Linux and a Docker container inside. Docker works only for 64 bits OS,<br>
so I need a 64 bits version.<br>
<br>
Since I don't know whether the students' computers work with BIOS or<br>
UEFI, it would be great to create bootable pendrives that work for any<br>
computer.<br>
<br>
I studied a bit about syslinux and found this very complicated, and also<br>
very risky. This is simply too much for me.<br>
<br>
I looked around further and found this site:<br>
<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/commun<wbr>ity/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS</a><br>
<<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/commu<wbr>nity/Installation/UEFI-and-<wbr>BIOS</a>><br>
<br>
with a repository of images at:<br>
<a href="http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/uefi-n-bios/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://phillw.net/isos/linux-t<wbr>ools/uefi-n-bios/</a><br>
<br>
made by Phil Whiteside. That looks wonderful. My question is now: is<br>
there also a 64 bit version available? For some it is explicitely<br>
indicated that they are meant for i386 (so I should not use them), but I<br>
feel unsure about the other ones.<br>
<br>
Also: we buy either 8GB or 16 GB pendrives. Which image would work best?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Wilbert<br>

Dear Wilbert,<br>
<br>
The UEFI-and-BIOS systems dated May 2016 are 64-bit. These systems are *installed* systems (can be installed into USB sticks, SSDs, HDDs or memory cards, and works like a normal installed system).<br>
<br>
If you intend to use the USB sticks also for installing systems into other computers, it might be a good idea to have live systems or persistent live systems. The Lubuntu 64-bit iso files can also boot in both BIOS and UEFI mode.<br>
<br>
Is it possible that some student has a 32-bit computer? You can make persistent live systems with 32-bit Lubuntu, that can boot in both 32-bit computers and 64-bit computers, and in both BIOS and UEFI mode. This is when you use the usb-pack-efi for booting.<br>
<br>
So maybe you should make some master USB sticks just to check that they work for you, and maybe bring more than one configuration, even if I understand that the focus is on 64-bit systems.<br>
<br>

<br>
It is much easier to find USB 3 pendrives with good performance among those with 16 GB. See this link and links from it for details about the data transfer speed of pendrives.<br>
