Question by Mark Johnsons: How to install Linux on my flash drive or external hdd?
Okay. My laptop hdd is just 80gb. I want to install the Linux on my flash drive or external hdd, not just make it a “bootable” flash drive because when I tried Ubuntu using the live cd Demo(without installing), everything is sooooo slow. Is it possible to INSTALL the linux files on my flash drive or external hdd? Thank you very much.

¿How can i make my external DVD-ROM boot from an old PC?

Posted by – Juni 26, 2010

I have a usb DVD-ROM and I want to install linux (CentOS) from a DVD image. Unfortunaly the PC doesn’t boot from the DVD-ROM:( Is there any way to hack the bios to make this work or do you know any other software that i can copy to a bootable CD or floppy disk to boot the installation from the DVD?????
The bios does not reconize the DVD-ROM because it is plugged on the usb. I only see IDE drives and the floopies. Only on windows it works.
