Re: how to install debian on a external USB disk




You should proceed as usual (using expert installer). Installer will
detect USB disk and then you can make partitions at your wish. Just
remember to install GRUB in MBR of the USB disk.

If it fails at installing GRUB, do not worry, select "no boot loader" to
install, end Debian installation and afterwards you can install GRUB
using SGD (SuperGrubDisk).

As an alternative (and for software testing purposes) you could install a
virtual machine for Squeeze/Sid.

In theory, I guess USB driver modules should be built in Linux kernel or in  a ramdisk, otherwise kernel can not recognize USB disks, right?

Best regards,
