I saw no advantage to installing on an external drive sorry.
Thanks Bob, that is very useful to know. Yes 8gb is sufficient for 4gb swap and 4gb os. If the 128gb SSD was the boot drive, the network has access via Winscp. Winscp for some reason doesn't allow modification to the usb so any changes are done by sneakernet.
I ran gparted on usb drive, when the m.2 128gb SSD was inserted and on a terminal tried to update fstab. This failed, reason given: Unconfigured fstab for base system.
