Hello, I m preety new to Linux and having some problems installing properly, Hopefully some in the group can help me out or suggest simple solution.
Here is the scenario -- My currect system configuration is 80GB internal HDD (Primary), I have WinXP already installed on my this HDD. I bought a new internal 160gb HDD and an enclosure to make is USB2.0 external HDD. When i connect it USB port, system recognizes it fine ( I havent formatted this disk yet.) Now problem is -- I want to install Debian on this external HDD, so that i can use this with my laptop also as and when required. Question is -- 1) I have already downloaded debian from one the mirror site listed on debian.org website (complete folder on windows appears as 1.16GB with 2836 files). I want to know is this correct approximate size for debian installable files. 2) If above is not correct can some-one guide me where i can correct files. 3) How can i install debian on External HDD and boot from that drive instead of WinXP. 4) Can i use external HDD with my laptop also when i want to use Linux through laptop. Any suggestion/help/advice will be highly appreciated. Thanx in advance for all ur valuable help. -sam ---- Message posted via www.linuxforums.org . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
