Some live media tools though (but currently, not the standard Ubuntu installation tool), can create a so-called “persistent live” system on a flash drive. The standard Ubuntu live system - which in the past was on CD, while nowadays on USB flash drives - doesn’t persist changes they’re applied in-memory, and lost on shutdown. This small article explains how to do this. VirtualBox doesn’t support booting a VM from a USB flash drive though, so a workaround is required.
This requires multiple sessions and reboots, so retaining the changes on the installation media would considerably streamline the task. Recently, I needed to test some operations to be performed during the installation of Ubuntu on a system.
