I am not too sure what your problem is.

What is the mount point for your external USB drive?
Did you insert and entry in /etc/fstab?

If not, your drive will not be mounted automatically at reboot.

When you install "paquets" (or rather packages) they usually end up in /usr, /bin, /sbin, depending on the package, so I hope that none of the above is sitting on a removable drive; that would be quite an intrepid configuration.

Do you mean that you are copying files onto the external drive, but they are being lost when the machine is restarted?

The way I understand it is that the OP install Ubuntu on a USB attached hdd and is running Ubuntu right off it. It seems as if this installation of Ubuntu is not persistant (Live OS?) and resets itself after ever reboot.

That would make more sense

tcpipv6, how did you install ubuntu? Is it possible you're simply running a live imagine, rather than an install?

All of this is very surreal.
Anybody else guessing what tcpipv6's problem is?

Tcpipv6, please rephrase your post.

'live' installs are not designed to keep changes made, what you're probably after is a full USB install.

how can i make a full usb install??

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-tutorial-for-linux-users/

is a good start.

Failing that, a Google search for "install Ubuntu on USB" should have plenty of walkthroughs.

Good Luck!

another tutorial is at

http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-ubuntu-8.10-on-your-usb-flash-drive

Generally you can start and install just about any distro on USB flash by using UnetBootin. You can find it at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin

I have used unetbootin a lot without problems with different distros.
