Use of USB HDD installation
Hi,
I want to install knoppix on a USB hard Drive,
Is there any way I can boot from this Hard Drive using a floppy or even the original Knoppix CD.
I would like to acomplish this , so I can boot up any computer using my USB HDD .
I appreciate any help on this
Thank you

Perhaps your bios has the option of booting from a usb device. The newer ones do. If so, you can just change the boot order and plug in the drive when you want to boot knoppix.
You could also try these two programs which can be set up as floppy boot managers. They might be able to boot from a usb device.

Smart Boot Manager has been stalled for over 2 years and I don't see any trace of supporting USB nor PCMCIA in its source.
If the BIOS support USB booting, the attached file may just be another HD(ATAPI emulation?). Otherwise, one need to modify the initrd to include the usb modules(usbcore, usb-uhci/usb-ohci etc. and usb-storage) which should assign the HD to /dev/sdxx and it can be treated as just another SCSI harddisk and the booting can move on.

Could you give examples of how to put the mods in for usb support?
