I did this some years ago and it worked fine; I've no doubt it'll work even better now. The easiest method I found was to disconnect the internal harddrive(s) before the installation so there would, in effect, only be one harddrive available - the USB drive. Follow the installer, let it install the bootloader on the first available drive (which should be the USB drive since nothing else is connected), and job done. You might find that once you reconnect the internal harddrive(s) that your USB system doesn't boot properly, but that should be a minor change to the grub configuration on the USB itself (telling grub to use a specific drive and partition, rather than "the first drive we find"), but we can cross that bridge when we get to it.

Obviously more to it than I realised. Must do some more research. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
