install Knoppix to external hard drive
Well, I am about to my wits end trying to install Knoppix to an external (USB) hard drive. I believe the
problem is that the drive is too large and my computers BIOS will not boot a FAT32 device that is 320Gb.
So, what I am wondering is if I can install Knoppix to the external hard drive by using the "Install to Hard Drive" option. I suppose that the program will want to install to my internal hard drive, the one containing my Windows OS, and I do NOT want that to happen. What I am wondering is this: Can I disconnect my SATA drive, containing Windows, then boot the computer using the CD? At that point would I be able to use the Install to Hard Drive program and install to the USB drive?
An alternative would be to download the Ubuntu 7.04 iso and install that to the USB drive. Ubuntu has the capability to install to the external drive.
I would prefer to install Knoppix, so if anyone can help me out I would be grateful.
John
