SD Card Booting Issues
by PeteThePen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53V14)
Hi Folks
I am using Lubuntu 20.04 on an Acer 3820TZ laptop, Pentium P6 100, 3GB ram, 320 GB HD, formerly Win 10 until BSD, but now removed. I also have a 32 GB Integral Micro SD card in an adapter on which I have separately installed Lubuntu 20.04.
Booting under Win 10 was not fast but, sadly, Lubuntu 20.04 is not that quick either. The brilliant idea was to install 20.04 onto the card for a super quick boot. Wrong! It boots even slower and also insists on having the device and principal user names as Lubuntu (i.e. lubuntu@lubuntu).
Questions:
1. Am I wasting my time thinking that an SD card boot would be quicker?
2. If it ought to be quicker, what possible solution(s) should I investigate?
3. How do I get the SD card Host and Host names files to edit and save permanently (Only worth the effort if the answer to 1 is 'No')
Many thanks
Pete
