Hi again,

Now I have tested the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator, SDC.

I made a spreadsheet wíth columns for

Host system
Live/Installed
Mode (BIOS/UEFI)
Target system
Live-only/Persistent
Target pendrive's original status
Result (Success/Failure)
Error output (if any)
Comment
Bug number

and tested with current versions of the Ubuntu family operating systems as
hosts and as targets. See the attached ods file.

I hope these test results will help in the discussion, and also help
improve the quality of the software :-)

1. It supplies substance to the statement that there are several cases
where the SDC does not work. I think that we have more problems than some
'corner cases'.

2. It supplies input for those of us who want to debug the SDC and the
program packages, that it depends on (for example udisks).

Best regards
Nio
