It is not much different than installing on main hard disk.
- Connect External SSD onto your machine
- Connect Ubuntu installation medium onto your machine
- Enter BIOS, choose boot from Ubuntu installation medium
- In Ubuntu Installation type, choose
Something else - Find your external SSD on the list, look for drive other than
/dev/sda. (Assuming you already had Ubuntu before) Once you found it—you can partition it, the basic Ubuntu installation contain:
Root partition
/Swap partition
swap
- Click next --> continue.
- The rest steps is related to username, timezone etc.
The next time you want to boot to external SSD, just choose your SSD from BIOS boot menu. It will redirect to your external SSD, in which you can use Ubuntu from there.
