i am not very sure this one can be done.

i have a old computer at home without hardisk. it is quite old computer and only support 2GB hardisk
since 2GB hardisk is quite rare this day. I am planning to install debian
into the 2GB pendrive (i know this one can be done).

But the computer is quite old. No USB support not to mention BOOT FROM USB feature.
i want to attach the kingston pendrive to the motherboard IDE using USB-to-IDE cable.

will this kind of hardware configuration supported by debian?
