Hi all: has anybody experience with installing Linux off a USB floppy drive? I did it on my slim laptop (no integrated floppy; just an external USB one) and it worked great as long as only one disk was needed (i.e., would not recognize the drive after the first floppy had been loaded). since modern motherboards all have USB, maybe we could forget about floppy drives in clusters and just have one external USB drive around for emergencies? I wonder whether that was a special feature of my laptop's BIOS of if it will also work with desktop motherboards? thanks! -- laurent
