Linux USB pendrive

THIS PART IS UNDER DEV!!!

There are two options for preparing a USB pendrive with linux/ros. Always try option 1 first!

1. Ready-to-use uefi-linux-ros distro:

   1. Use balena ether to flash an image to an USB stick.
   2. Use the following image (xenial-kinetic)
   3. Set your BIOS to UEFI mode, disable boot security stuff
   4. Try to boot from the stick (give priority in the bios if necessary)

2. Try the steps described in the following forum post if the first nethod didn't not work. You'll need two USB sticks; one with the live distro and one to install the distro onto. This method installs vanilla xenial. Hence, you still need to install ROS and supporting packages.

   1. Prepera a USB stick with the default live distro (white saxion)
   2. Use these instructions to install a permanent distro to a second USB stick (verbatim)
