It's a thing called fstab. I'm not sure on the exact entry for usb HDs
tho. Usually it's /dev/sda1 or something. Sorry I'm not much more help.

Dear all,
I am trying to be clever: I have a Western Digital Passport 40Gb 2.5"
USB external drive for my Mandriva 2006.0 (download) 'system'. Something
I plan to plug in anywhere and just use (making sure I make regular
back-ups!).
At present, I want to use this on 2 machines: Dell Dimension 5000 and
IBM ThinkVision something-or-other, both with differing hardware configs
(wired/wireless LANs, graphics, monitor, etc.). However, when I switch
between machines I still have to independently configure some hardware,
even though I have set them up before.
Is there a way to save each hardware config, so that I can literally
plug my 'system' in anywhere (without having to reconfigure each time I
return to a previously configured machine)?
Any pointers/hints/suggestions/help would be VERY MUCH appreciated.
Kind regards, Andy

Would it be possible to treat this as a dual boot and have a different
boot entry for each machine? Then just choose what you want off the
menu to match the machine you are on at the time. I haven't heard of
anyone dual booting with two installs of the same distro, but I assume
it would work.
