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 debianinto 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?
Even though the BIOS may not recognize drives over 2 gig - debian will... It doesn't use the BIOS for working with the drive once it gets going. Just make sure your boot loader is at the start of the drive (the normal configuration).
