Is there a time limit for the remove media screen after installing Ubuntu with ISO?

When you are done installing ISO using USB, remove usb from the screen and press Enter I can see the screen, but if I keep it on this screen, will the ISO be reinstalled?

If reinstalled, how many hours does it take to reinstall?

No it will not be re-installed. It'll just sit there waiting for you to remove media & press Enter and reboot. On some hardware the reboot doesn't happen though (*hardware/firmware specific*). You can use *live* media for mere minutes, hours or even days! - there is no time limit.

Do note: Ubuntu provides many ISOs for many different architectures, with many installers available; so what occurs on one ISO for a given release/architecture may differ to another release/architecture, but most are similar. This answer is mostly based on Desktop (inc. flavor) ISOs for i386 or amd64 architectures.

I've had QA-test installs take less than 2 minutes; others have taken hours. The hardware involved plays a huge part, as does the install itself (minimal installs usually take longer as everything is installed, then files get removed to make the minimal install - but it'll vary on product/release/ISO)

Installs taking *hours* is **not** normal... but you can perform *Upgrades via re-install* and use install types where *manually installed* packages on your system get auto-reinstalled, which means they'll get downloaded from the internet when not available on the ISO... With slow internet & a bloated load of packages to be re-installed - it takes time! but it works :)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
