I know most Linux distro's have to be heavily tweaked to get them working off a USB hard drive, so I'm wondering if any SUSE users can tell me whether this is also the case with SUSE or if the latest version would work ok? Since I bought a new 300 gig hard drive, I have a spare 120gig drive I could format and install linux on, and I hear good things about the new build of SUSE. But I don't want boot loaders and all that crap clogging up my main internal drive. I want to set the bios to boot from USB and install on that only. If it's not possible to do as I've outlined, I just won't bother.
SUSE on a USB hard drive?
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/SUSE on a USB hard drive? I don't know about SuSE, but Damn Small Linux and PuppyLinux both boot well from USB/mini CD. DSL even has the option of installing as a complete Debian on your USB device.
Ofcourse if you absolutely must have SuSE, that's probably not going to do you any good at all.

I tried doing that with Ubuntu, but I installed SuSE on my internal HDD instead. Ubuntu didn't work out as well as I hoped on the 160 GB monster Seagate of mine, it was a little difficult to communicate the HDD back and forth on that drive, and doing so would require a lot of IT work to get it done.
