Announcement & Poll: Installing Linux (Debian) on USB hard drive and USB flash/jump drive
Update: The series will be called “Installing Linux on USB“. Hello everybody! I am planning to write a series of articles related to Booting Linux on USB drives- Hard Drive and Flash/Jump drive (Yes, they are different and we will cover it). Just wanted to let you guys know about the upcoming series.
Also with this I would like to include my first ever poll on this blog. I request if you spare few seconds to vote regarding this topic. Depending on how much interest is generated I will write my posts accordingly. Also I do realize that right now I just have very few loyal subscribers/reader (23 as pointed out by feedburner.com) so there might not be enough people to carry out the vote responses but still I would like to do it to see what kind of enthusiasm and interest is generated. Your support will be highly appreciated!

Hi,
Yes I did see that before I decided to write the series. There are somethings that are missing which I am looking for. Anyhow it is too late. I have already on board.

thanx for effort. am putting 6.22 and ubuntu on an old win2k compaq, tripped over your site at right moment.
maybe old news:
6.22 stepup and 6.22 supplement available as M$ download. use expand.exe in the supp disk to expand command.co_ in the stepup disk.
play with stepup and you have the complete 6.22 os.
