If you need to copy files from this system to another computer ( or Vice Versa ), then use the msdos folder, as shown in this video : https://youtu.be/E-VffamlrJ8. After copying, shutdown the system and then use the usb drive on the other computer

Some issues are present in the default Firefox browser. So it is better to install Google Chrome and then make it the default browser. For this, copy the download and install instructions from : https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-google-chrome-web-browser-on-ubuntu-20-04/. Alternatively, I have uploaded a text file attachment on the Wiki Home Page of this Project site for the same here : https://sourceforge.net/p/custom-ubuntu-image-for-usb/wiki/Home/attachment/How%20to%20Install%20Google%20Chrome%20Web%20Browser%20on%20Ubuntu.txt

Also, stopping / removing the unattended upgrades service can reduce some load on the system. For this, refer the link : https://askubuntu.com/a/1346636 for commands to run on the Terminal

Right Click files like Video / Audio to open with Chrome Browser.

The MD5 checksum computed for the file  custom-ubuntu-image-for-usb-drives.gz is 0c5c3d8bb4624d271fbf3bbd45ba1027

Use the gparted partition editor application, to extend / resize the free space available on the partitions. You can temporarily remove the swap partition and re-introduce it later. If the partitions are locked because of use, you can get the gparted program from a Puppy Linux Live CD

Alternate method:

The command to restore the gzip image on to a empty usb drive ( i.e. sdc in this case ) is :

gunzip </mnt/sdb1/custom-ubuntu-image-for-usb-drives.gz >/dev/sdc
