I have Windows XP installed on the machine, so that method won't work for me. I would really like to figure out how to put a distro installation program on a USB hard disk drive and be able to install from there. People around me use different distros, so ultimately I would like to have a USB drive with 3 or 4 different distro installation progs that I can take to different computers and select a particular distro to install. People are booting Knoppix from USB flash drives: http://www.google.com/search?q=knoppix+usb+drive I don't see why you couldn't initiate a Linux installer from a USB hard disk.
