Hi all .

I have completed a Minimal Ubuntu Install ( using the Yakketty Minimal 64bit ISO ) , and followed this guide -
http://www.richud.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Minimal_KODI_Install - to give me a usable HTPC.
( i did NOT install - USBMOUNT - part of the guide , but not essential , as it did not work for me )

I have 1 External USB HDD plugged in , and i edited the FSTAB file, using the UUID of the drive.
I added the following 2 lines:

# STORAGE
UUID=c4fec6a9-621e-492d-89fb-880930039857 /media/Storage auto rw,user,auto 0 0

Everything works and boots - unless i unplug the USB DRIVE and try booting . The startup hangs at looking for the USB and sends me to a "Maintenance" option.

MY QUESTION :
How can i setup the PC to boot , BOTH with and without the External drive plugged in ?
