RE: External USB disks and Linux?

I seriously doubt it would work.  your only chance would be on a distro that
ships with a 2.4.x kernel... and it would have to be using that kernel for
the install, too.

Subject: External USB disks and Linux?


A friend just mentioned wanting to get an external USB disk
for her notebook machine and install Linux on it.  Which
led me to ask, "Whoa, does that work?"  How about it, folks?
Has anybody tried it?  Did it work?  Pitfalls to watch for?

TIA,

Jonathan
