my system has several internal disks which are all formatted as NTFS.
i have an external USB2 disk that i could use for fedora, if i can
figure out how to boot it. my motherboard/bios is too old to boot
directly off of a USB disk. can i use some sort of boot CD or
bootmanager to start fedora from an external drive? how would i
achieve this?
let me know, thanks.

have a look at http://www.simonf.com/usb/

and let me know....
It works here
i followed the instructions on the pdf at the second link and the usb
disk does not show up when booted from the grub cdrom image so i guess
my bios is not going to cooperate, at least not for booting.
the weird thing though is if i boot the FC4 install DVD, it says
"loading usb storage driver" and i see the external disk flash a few
times like it's being accessed. however if i go to manual partition
with disk druid, i don't see the drive. this leads me to think that
maybe it could work if i knew how to tell the installer to look at that
disk.
