I did figure out that my laptop will allow a boot from the USB drive. Not a very intuitive menu system in the BIOS. Anyway, I removed my internal drive so there is no chance of anything getting screwed up. Boot off the FC5 DVD with the USB drive plugged in, but the install says it can't find any devices to install it. This is strange because I also tried Suse OSS 10 and it will install on the USB disk. Unfortunately, it fails during bootup. It starts to boot off the drive but then bombs part way. James
