There isn't much difference except in the set of packages pre-installed and some other defaults that shouldn't matter here. Your userspace environment should generally be the same and be more comfortable. signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

You question was already answered by David but FWIW when I've been in a situation like this I install the current ISO installer onto another USB stick and boot that to do any hardware forensics or diagnostics. -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
Re: Ubuntu server "Live CD"?
Have you tried the server installer for 18.04.1? Your request is one of the improvements made. I’m not sure if 16.04 is a requirement as our new installer is 18.04+ only, but check it out in any case.

Ubuntu server "Live CD"?
I have a situation where I need to quickly bring up an Ubuntu 16.04 server environment on physical hardware without doing an install (I'm "borrowing" hardware set aside for other use). I tried starting a server install, stopping before disk partitioning, switching to a terminal prompt, mounting a usb stick and running scripts from there. What I found was that the busybox environment was significantly limited. Is there a better way I can mimic "Live CD" behavior with better functionality? Join us at the 2018 Momentum User Conference!
