Install OS into External Storage
You can only install an SD/USB image into an SD/USB flash drive. If you install other images to an SD/USB flash drive, then the image will not bootup correctly.
There are several ways to install the OS into the external storage, e.g. TF card, USB storage, etc.
- Etcher has a user-friendly GUI for beginners, and it is compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux.
Simply select an image and it will automatically identify your flash drive and burn the image. (Recommended)
* Alternatively, utilise the `dd` command from within the Ubuntu Terminal:
$ sudo dd if=/path/to/image of=/dev/sdX bs=8M
