Has anyone tried putting a linux distro on an external drive (like a USB
powered laptop drive enclosure) to boot linux and run xastir? I'd
gladly set up such a drive for the balloon chasers to use, if it would
work. Live distros work, but they are so slow I can't get my users to
use them, and there is the problem of saving (and total ease of losing)
the logged data.
The only issue is likely to be the system BIOS ... as long as it can
boot from a USB device then it should work, just make sure the USB etc.
drivers are built in the kernel or initrd. I haven't tried it myself yet
though is another project I was going to try sometime (using a USB flash
drive probably, just make sure the system has enough RAM to avoid using
swap).
