use all these 3 ports simultaneously to install other Operating Systems (e.g. another version of Linux OS)
Installation of Operating Systems in the PC/Laptop environment can be done in so many ways but since we want to install another Operating System on the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid then this is the first method . This method is a fresh install of Linux Operating System on a 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid . Steps that we are going to take on how to install Linux Operating System (we take Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 as an example) on a 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid are :
1. we have to ensure that the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid have a
UEFI/BIOS (software/firmware) on the System Board .
2. we have to ensure that we have 3 units of full-size USB 2.0 or 3 units of full-size USB 3.0 on the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid .
Since we are doing a fresh install of Linux Operating System Ubuntu 18.10 on the 15.6 inches LinuxLaptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid then 2 units of full-size USB 2.0 or 2 units of full-size USB 3.0 should be sufficient .
The first unit of full-size USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) is connected to an external DVD-RW drive so that we can insert the Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 Live DVD to begin the software installation . The second unit of full-size USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) is connected to and external hard disk drive or
flash drive where the Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 will reside .
The second method involve hard disk drive cloning and we need to utilize 3 units of full-size USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) simultaneously . If we have a external hard disk or a spare external hard disk that is already installed with Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 and we have another external hard disk and we want to install it on the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , then 1 unit of full-size USB port is connected to an external DVD-RW drive (to insert a a bootable Live CD like Clonezilla for cloning purposes) and the other 2 units of full-size USB port is connected to the SOURCE hard disk drive and the TARGET hard disk drive .
Note that for both method we use external hard disk drive and we use Linux Operating System Ubuntu 18.10 . Installation of other Operating System like Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 or Linux OS KNOPPIX 8.2 on the external hard disk drive which is then connected to the full-size USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) of the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , does not override the existing Linux OS , which is residing , which is powering the
15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid .
With the presence of UEFI/BIOS on the System Board of the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , we can select to boot from the external hard disk drive or flash drive which has been installed with Linux Operating System Ubuntu 18.10 . To the best of my knowledge , only Linux Operating System Ubuntu 18.10 and Linux Operating System KNOPPIX 8.2 and other Linux variants can be booted from an external hard disk drive or flash drive with the help of UEFI/BIOS .
Installation of other Operating System like Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 or Linux OS KNOPPIX 8.2 on the external hard disk drive which is connected to the USB port of the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid does not override the existing Linux OS which is residing inside the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid . The only snag when installing other Linux OS is , the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid cannot make telephone calls and receive telephone calls , cannot send and receive sms , cannot WhatsApp , cannot WeChat , cannot Snapchat , cannot Instagram , etc., etc. After the other Linux OS installation is complete and after we have finished doing what we want to do with the new Linux OS , just shutdown the new Linux OS . Disconnect the external hard disk drive from the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , reboot/restart the
15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , then we can use the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid just like an ordinary Android Smartphone , just like an ordinary Windows Smartphone . Now , we can make phone calls , we can receive phone calls , we can send sms , we can WhatsApp , we can WeChat , we can Snapchat , we can Instagram , we can watch YouTube/Videos/Movies , we can connect to printers , we can connect to scanners , and a long list of everything the PC/Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone can do ……..…….. we can also do with our 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid .
