This may be stupid but a question it is.
What if any problems will I have with 10.3 installed on an external USB drive? Windows is on the laptop internal drive. I guess grub will be installed to that. Will it handle booting to the external? Will it gracefully handle the times the external won't be plugged in? I guess it'll be slower then an internal drive.
To follow up on my own question.
I bought the drive and am currently installing 10.3 RC1. The install software found the drive. I decided to change the drive layout a bit but other then that it seems to be going nicely. Crossing my fingers.

Set BIOS boot sequence CD, USB, HD. Install grub on USB drive. When USB is not present it will boot from CD or HD. When USB is present it will boot CD or USB, with grub option to boot Windows. If you put grub on HD with /boot directory on USB you can't boot without USB drive. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
