Kubuntu 18.04 LTS does not start after fresh installation from "mSATA TO USB3.0."

[Bas Roufs]

Hello Charlie and Everybody.

In the mean time, it became clear to me that the mSata DID work as a
installation medium - however, I needed to boot via bios at that mSata, in
order to access the installed system.  An advise has come to me to act
along the lines of this:

https://www.howopensource.com/2011/08/restore-mbr-from-ubuntu-live-cd-usb/

This was effective.

However, one question remains for now. Have been trying to create a live
system at a usb stick - for a next install, as well as for security.

Have been using both USB-creator and mkusb-dus.  However, the stick does
not boot so far.

Yours.

Bas G Roufs.
