Hi,I am happily running Fedora Core 3 from an external USB disk (actually a EIDE HD in an USB envelope)
I've tried that almost a year ago. Didn't worked. From what I've found out during my research on google, was that a special built kernel is needed. I don't remember is the needed code is in kernel (FC3 or vanilla) or the patch is available separately, but ... it doesn't work out of the box, thats for sure.
Sergiu.

Hi,
I want to install FC3 to an external USB Hard Disk (Western Digital). I booted from the FC3 DVD but this external disk is not shown as an option at the disk partition step.
I have googled for this issue and found some hints. I have tried to boot up the machine with the HS already connected and also have tried to connect the drive after the boot. Same results, I can't see the drive as option for partitioning-installin to it.
Do I need to load a drivers diskette or something? Am I doing it wrong for external USB HDs?
Please help
Thanks in advance for your help

No problem for installation, but after installation you have to create a particular initrd.You can read a good document here at http://www.simonf.com/usb/ and I have also a document written by John Austin (I do not remember where he posted this document!!!)
I understand that your disk is not recognized when hooked.What is the output of lsusb???
