On PPC computers, you can't boot from a USB drive. Since it doesn't
have FireWire, I don't think you can boot from an external drive. You
can boot from an internal DVD drive, though, and the connector is the
same standard one that's used on most other compact drives in laptops
and such. (Macs and PC's)
