I normally use a USB stick when I want to install a new version of
Linux. This works fine on my computers. Since the OS on the stick is a
'live' version I can also plug that stick in another computer and run
the OS from that. In effect I can carry that OS around with me.
I also have some external hard drives. I am wondering, normally when I
install a new version of an OS it goes automatically on to the HD inside
the computer. Is it possible to, instead, install that OS onto an
external HD? After all, in effect, if I plug in an external HD it
becomes like a second HD on the computer.
Or am I missing something?
Neil
