With regards to booting, install GRUB or LILO to the MBR on /dev/hda1 and point your root (/) to /dev/usb1, or something along those lines. <div>On 19/05/07, Preston Smith <<a href="mailto:prbasmith@gmail.com">prbasmith@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi all, With help from the replies I received concerning installation of Ubuntu on a USB drive, I have installed 7.04 on said drive. While my HP Compaq Presario v2414 NR does allow me to set the USB drive to boot ahead of the Hard Drive, the BIOS resets the HD over the USB drive on reboot. Result is each time I want to boot into Ubuntu I must access the BIOS via F10 and change boot order. Strange ..... When Ubuntu is up and running my wireless is not working. My problem is that I want to use WPA2-PSK Net Authentication and TKIP data encryption. Of course this works in XP - how do I do it in Ubuntu or am I stuck with WEP?
