Hello,

I'am a pre-sales person who travels to prospective client sites
and does product demos.

I install my Oracle Applications E-business suite 11i, in a linux
partition in my Laptop and carry it around. This is not proving
very effective as it freezes at times and throws up errors
frequently. In addition to that, I lose a substantial amount of
my disk space on the linux partition.

Now I have an 80GB external HDD which can connect to my laptop
through the USB port.

Please tell me if I can install Knoppix and Oracle Applications 11i
in my external HDD and use it whenever I need to demo - other times
I plug out the external HDD and iam on my windows 2000 booting from
the internal hard disk in my laptop.

Can I help myself in this or would I require professional help,
if you think professional help is available then please give me
more details.

Thanks a lot for any help. !

Madhu

Should work nicely. Just install it to that external HD and tell your computer to boot from it :)
