2017-04-30 23:27:43 Alberto Salvia Novella description Most important bugs that people experience when upgrading Ubuntu are hardware related, and that's because Ubuntu is mostly tested using virtual machines. We need a method that would allow to install daily images directly into USB drives, without needing to use persistence. Just as it was a hard disk. Tried to do so by using Ubiquity, the Ubuntu Live CD installer, but it crashes as per bug #1687332. Anyway that method isn't agile enough, as after installation you would have to upgrade to the development release anyway.
