</I>><i> I've never done it quite like this before, but since he is a
</I>><i> laptop and tablet user, a second internal drive isn't an option,

</I>><i> artist/photographer so stores large files.

</I>><i> Anyone care to advise me? I don't want to offer this until I'm

</I>><i> Don't know if this will help, but i made a USB key (should be the

</I>><i>
</I>><i> here are the steps: 1/from my laptop I started with a live CD (live
</I>><i> usb stick should work also) 2/boot on the live cd/stick and install
</I>><i> the distib on the USB stick/drive as you would do for a internal
</I>><i> drive. 3/when asked if you want to remove drivers for unused
</I>><i> hardware say no (keep them). 4/ intall the boot sector on this
</I>><i> stick/drive. 5/that's all
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I did that on a cheap 32GB USB stick and in addition at install
</I>><i> time I partitioned the key and copy part of my /home on it
</I>><i> (thunderbird and some documents/photos).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I booted my home server, my desktop machine and my old iron of
</I>><i> AcerAspire ONE with that key without problems. (They all have
</I>><i> different drive controler and different video cards).
</I>><i>
</I>Thanks - that sounds a good idea.
