Hello Everybody
i have used ubuntu on several pc`s even dual boot with xp, no problems
But i now have a fujitsu lifebook p-1120 , with no harddrive caddy or ribbon,i have tried installing ubuntu 9.04 on usb flash drive with no
luck,i couldn`t getthis to boot on any computer, installed 9.04 on an ext usb hdd.still won`t boot, the only thing
this crazy laptop will boot off of is a usb floppy drive,won`t boot from
usb cd (has no internal)nor the usb flash & ext hdd,
is there a way to boot it from a floppy and run ubunny on the ext hdd,
i spend so much time in the hospital, i hate risking my good laptop getting stole
thanks zeebobz

In short Yes you can boot from a floppy drive if the BIOS do have that option .
But what are you're intention using a floppy to boot and the rest of the system on a USB hard drive ?
That is possiblen
But can the floppy and the USb HD conect to you're computer at the same time

You need to update/upgrade your BIOS. At present your only option is boot from floppy, liveCD, virtual machine and network.
