I dont think that there is a problem,at least i dont have one. In fact i use an external usb2 drive not only for storage,but to built a new system, i do have a freebsd partition also,so my laptop's drive space is limited. You can even boot into an installed partition (grub will see it as sda*,normally). Just use stable kernel releases,i had a problem once with mm-sources to boot into an installation,so i had to patch it first to work properly. > Can it handle re-partitioning the drive for ext3? Yes,it can be treated as a normal hard disk. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
