Boy am I lost. Sorry for being in the wrong group. Thanks for the reply. I did ask AI about it, and this what it said. I'm finding that I must be using the 'latest' version of Pi Image and much of the stuff I find is based on an earlier version, so that's probably the source for confusion.

I've install Ubuntu Server on a USB stick and turned on the Raspberry Pi 4, what command should I type to get me into the Ubuntu Server?
The Raspberry Pi 4 doesn't boot directly into a USB drive by default. You'll need to configure it to boot from USB first. Here are two methods to achieve this:
Method 1: Using Raspberry Pi Imager
Download the latest Raspberry Pi Imager for your computer https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pro ... er-install.
Launch the Imager and choose "Operating System."
Scroll down and select "Misc Utility Images" followed by "Bootloader" and then "USB Boot."
Under "Storage," choose the microSD card you'll be using. (Double-check the selection)
Click "Write" to flash the bootloader image to the microSD card.
Once finished, remove the microSD card from your computer.
Insert the microSD card into your Raspberry Pi 4.
Connect the Ubuntu Server USB stick to a USB port on the Pi.
Power on the Raspberry Pi. It should automatically boot from the USB drive containing Ubuntu Server.
Method 2: Manual Configuration (using raspi-config)
Boot your Raspberry Pi 4 with the Ubuntu Server USB drive disconnected. (You can use a microSD card with a bootable OS for this step)
Once booted, log in to your Raspberry Pi.
Open a terminal window.
Type the following command and press Enter:
sudo raspi-config
Use the arrow keys to navigate and select "Boot Options" followed by "Boot Order."
Change the first boot option to "USB Boot" using the arrow keys and Enter.
Exit the raspi-config tool using the "Finish" option.
Reboot your Raspberry Pi 4 with the Ubuntu Server USB drive connected.
After successful boot from USB:
You might need to configure the network settings within Ubuntu Server for internet access.
Consider creating a permanent boot configuration for the USB drive if this is your desired setup.
Remember, booting from USB might be slower than booting from a microSD card.
