=====Ubuntu 18 Bionic Beaver LTS on removable SSD===== //With Secure Boot and rootfs LUKS encryption// **Notes:** * Was not able to install /boot on the encrypted partition. The signed grub loader doesn't seem to have all required modules signed. So I've installed /boot onto the ESP partition. ====Install required packages==== * Install debootstrap:apt install debootstrap ====Perpare SSD==== * First unmount (auto)mounted partitions. * Partition the SSD. Start at sector 65535, for correct alignment of my SSD drive.
