My goal is to have an external USB with linux on it, and be able to boot it on what ever Mac Mini I attach it to, without having to partition or install anything on the internal.
What I've done so far is boot off the Suse 10.2 DVD and install Linux on the USB disk. I was hoping I could boot Linux by just booting off the install DVD and choosing the boot off hard disk (sdb1) option. This fails, but interestingly if I instead choose "install", let it load the install environment, choose abort once thats loaded, I get a text menu with a "boot from harddisk" that does work. This is a bit too time consuming (loading the install environment takes too long, and I also don't get the benefit of the bios emulation for the video driver. Is there something I could burn to CD, so that I could boot in one step from the CD with root/swap on the USB, and have bios emulation? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
