Hi folks,
First of all, let me say that I've searched thru' all the posting and also google on the subject without avail. The only answer I get is to type in "expert" at the boot: during installation. Didn't work in my case as my usb hard disk did not show up.
I'm using my company's notebook for all of my work and am not allowed to install any other program on it, not to mention any other OS.
I wanted to learn Linux and the best way is to use it. Therefore I thought of installing on a usb hard drive which I've bought sometime's back.
I downloaded FC3 and burnt them on CDRWs. Did media checks on all the 4 disc (including the rescue disc) when media check popped out after I loaded the first disc. All passed the test.
I continued the installation and when prompted for details of partitioning the hard disk, only hda, hdb and hdc appear (3 partitions done by our IT folks). Tried rebooting and tried "expert" and "linux expert" on separate reboot. No luck. usb hd still don't appear. Read somewhere that by installing via expert mode, I should be given a chance to choose where I can install FC3 to. I can then use rescue disc to boot in after successful installation to change a script to delay booting proccess so that usb system can be started.
Anyone tried successfully installed FC3 on external usb harddisk can help? or any pointers to another resources I can read about?
Thanks.
