Ah, I think there's been some confusion Dan..I wasn't aware that you wanted it on an external hard drive. That is the method I recommend to people who are uncomfortable with repartitioning hard drives but want to use paparazzi on a single computer.
You are correct in saying you cannot run Windows on a usb drive (not without serious hacking), but I'm not sure that is relevant. Installing to usb is simple:
- I'd recommend getting the latest ubuntu, 9.10. Since my last email, the issues described have been fixed by updates.
- Make sure you have full backups, just in case.
- Boot ubuntu cd with external drive plugged in.
- In the drive partition selection, MAKE SURE you choose the external hard drive and allow it to automatically partition the EXTERNAL DRIVE.
- The installation will proceed and install the bootloader to the usb disk.
- Make sure your bios is set to boot off usb storage first.
- Reboot into ubuntu, install updates, and enjoy.
Hope that sorts it, and if you are paranoid about formatting your internal hd, you can always disconnect it for the installation process.
