Hello to All, After many hours of frustration, I was able to install openSuSE 10.3 to a USB drive for my Toshiba Laptop. I had followed the information on the Wiki to no avail, it would never boot. So here's how I got it to work for me. First, I don't know if you will have the same challenge or success. LAPTOP - Toshiba A135-S4427, 1.73 Ghz Centrino Core Duo CPU (T2250), 1 GB RAM, 120 GB SATA internal HD SuperMulti DVD, 15.4" TruBrite widescreen, Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG network card. Vista Home Prem pre-installed. USB - 60 GB WD IDE Drive 1. I entered SETUP and disabled the internal SATA drive (Shift + 1) 2. Used 32 bit 10.3 GM DVD (downloaded) to install the software to the USB drive 3. Set the bootloader to /boot (not /root as was in the Wiki instructions)(and not to MBR of USB drive) 4. Completed the initial phase installation and when reboot, told it to "Boot from Harddrive" 5. It booted the USB drive flawlessly and completed the installation 6. Rebooted without DVD, it again booted the USB drive (sata still disable) 7. Entered setup and enabled the internal SATA drive (Shift + 1) 8. Rebooted and chose each drive to test for booting and all works. What I should note is that I choose the OS to boot by hitting F12 at the boot up prompt and then select which drive I want to boot. Works flawlessly. Then only issues I have are that the Intel 82801 sound card does not work, but works with OSS 10.3 Live CD so I have to work on that.
