newbie installation

Hi,

 

Am trying my hand at installing mandriva on an external hard drive that I have spare

 

So far it seems to work, but I cant get my head around its ongoing use.

 

Because my bios does not allow me to boot to a usb device, I have booted from the live cd.

 

In dolphin I see the external hd and its two partitions plus also the hard drives ubuntu and vista partitions.

 

Am I correct in assuming that I am able to download any software to the external drive? Also if i configure

the settings, browser, email, desktop, will they be lost at the end of the session when I remove the cd.

 

To my mind the external hd is to be treated as a data drive, cos even though the os is installed it is not

functional due to the bios.

 

Many thanks
