+</I>&gt;<i> A young man who has steadfastly used Windows all his life is at last
+</I>&gt;<i> beginning to wonder if he should try Linux. I'm thinking that the
+</I>&gt;<i> best thing for him would be to put Mageia onto a usb drive - I have a
+</I>&gt;<i> spare cradle and a drive that I could wipe for him. I've no qualms
+</I>&gt;<i> about the actual install, until it comes to the bit where it asks
+</I>&gt;<i> where to put the boot record. Is drive A first sector the best place
+</I>&gt;<i> in this setup? What would happen if he tried to boot without the new
+</I>&gt;<i> drive attached?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I've never done it quite like this before, but since he is a laptop
+</I>&gt;<i> and tablet user, a second internal drive isn't an option, and he won't
+</I>&gt;<i> want to split his drive, as he is an artist/photographer so stores
+</I>&gt;<i> large files.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Anyone care to advise me? I don't want to offer this until I'm sure I
+</I>&gt;<i> can do it in a way that won't cause both of us hassle.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Thanks

+</I>Don't know if this will help, but i made a USB key (should be the same
+with a usb drive)
+close to what was once mdk/v everywhere.
+
+here are the steps:
+1/from my laptop I started with a live CD (live usb stick should work also)
+2/boot on the live cd/stick and install the distib on the
+ USB stick/drive as you would do for a internal drive.
+3/when asked if you want to remove drivers for unused hardware say no
+(keep them).
+4/ intall the boot sector on this stick/drive.
+5/that's all
+
+I did that on a cheap 32GB USB stick and in addition at install time I
+partitioned the key
+and copy part of my /home on it (thunderbird and some documents/photos).
+
+I booted my home server, my desktop machine and my
+old iron of AcerAspire ONE with that key without problems.
+(They all have different drive controler and different video cards).
