[08:12] <xubuntu> hello
[23:38] <cnnx> hello all
[23:38] <cnnx> I'm trying to make a bootable ssd drive that's ready to use, I can't find a way.. I tried with unetbootin but when asked to select my drive it only allows c:\ my ssd is on E:\
[23:39] <cnnx> something I can use with dd if=... maybe?
[23:46] <arraybolt3> cnnx: What you probably want to do is flash Xubuntu to a USB drive and then install it to the external SSD.
[23:46] <arraybolt3> cnnx: You can flash Xubuntu to a USB drive using balenaEtcher (that's what I'd use anyway).
[23:46] <cnnx> I tried that
[23:46] <arraybolt3> cnnx: What went wrong?
[23:46] <cnnx> but my mothoard shutdowns almost at the end of the install
[23:47] <cnnx> its a robot motherboard
[23:47] <cnnx> runs on battery
[23:47] <arraybolt3> cnnx: Oh... I see.
[23:47] <arraybolt3> cnnx: In that instance, perhaps you can install Xubuntu into a virtual machine with a raw disk image that's almost the same size as your motherboard's disk, then use dd to flash the preinstalled image to the SSD?
