Cledus Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I am new to linux. I have an idea and I am just wondering if it will work. I want to run Linux on an external usb hard drive.(60GB) The reason is so I can switch between my to computers without seeing the internal hard drives. I have used elearnix and mandrakemove. I like what I can do with both on them. I can boot on the CD and see the external drive, but I can never save any settings. I am using an AMD Athlon 1.2 ,700MB of RAM, 400MB drive (It was all I had left over after building my new computer) as my test computer. If it works I plan to move between this pc and my intel 2.6, 1 GB RAM, 800 FSB, 120 GB drive. Where do I start? I installed 9.2 on the external drive on my AMD, but keep getting L99 99 99 ...... Help please. Cledus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 you could boot up with a live cd, mount the usb hard drive, then chroot to it. (i think...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
