I'm in search of advice on hwo to realise my wishes.
I would like to setup a 40 GB external usb hard drive so that if plugged
in normally, a FAT32 partion can been seen in any OS, which would have
my multimedia and data.
But I would also like that if I'm in a pinch, I can connect the drive
preboot, and with the BIOS's permission, boot to the ext. drive, and
have a knoppix install bootup, autodetect the hardware as necessary, and
allow me to access my data.
I'd also like to keep the a home dir on the knoppix install synced with
my currect home dir in FC4. Possibly even have the KDE's look the same etc.
Should be possible if you just treat the USB drive as a regular disk,
i.e. make partitions on it, one a bootable Linux partition for Knoppix
and a FAT32 partition for data sharing.
Paul.
I am not yet familiar with partioning structures. Coudl you possibly
suggest a partion structure to have this drive bootable , etc, with knoppix?
Also, it would be great If I coudl jstu clone my Fedora installation
over to the drive. But how well does Fedora handle being bootup on
totally diferent hardware than it was ont he last time it boot, as can
be the situation ?
Thanks.
