Hi, I have Ubuntu in an external disk drive, I took the HD from my laptop and put in a larger drive, and for setting things up, I was able to boot to my old HD in the external drive via cable, and use the old install of Ubuntu. But the cord got unplugged during boot up and now it looks like a DOS

I had this trouble with the same version on a live copy running from a thumb drive and on a laptop I had installed it to. I just went back to 16.4.3. But I'm glad to see that someone else had that, and it wasn't a corrupt download or something on my end. Not that I'm glad you had the difficulty t

Yumi or Universal USB Installer on Linux
