Creating a Full install Ubuntu SD card from a Pre-built Image File that Boots BIOS and UEFI

  • Download Image File:

  • Download Rufus*:

  • Double click Rufus exe file. (No need to install it).

  • Select SD card as Target drive in Rufus.

  • Select above Image File in Rufus.

  • Click Rufus start button.

  • Wait for flashing to complete... Done.

(Password is "changeme", change it),

The SD card should boot on almost any modern X86-64 computer.

Thanks to sudodus for the image file.

In Windows it may be necessary to install 7Zip before proceeding. Rufus will use it when working with the .xz image:

*In Ubuntu you can use mkusb, Disks or Etcher to flash the SD card.
