So I just got a 500 GB WD passport and my copy of slackware finished downloading. I was wondering if (and how) I could load the slackware on the passport and run it from that.
If you format it I don't see why not. Just tell your bios to boot from it first, and install your os to it. You might have to do something special, but if windows xp can boot from a flashdrive you can boot linux from a portable harddrive.

Once you have installed it, to boot from your external hard drive, either hit the key that your computer says is to select boot drive, or go into BIOS and change the boot order to boot from USB devices. You need to have a computer that supports booting from USB hard drives, but most motherboards made in the last 6 years support this.
None.

I jsut make an ISO image on the dirve, then choose to boot from that when the computer first starts up.Puppy linux runs on reaslly small pen drives BTW.

Zoan -- of course it isn't full understanding. You could ask "is the mechanism by which this counterexample blows up the ONLY mechanism possible for an initial configuration to blow up?"[2026-9-10. : 5:47 pm]
