    not sure it is possible, installed ubuntu linux on external usb hard drive, but my bios won't boot from external hdd. options to boot from usb floppy, usb zip, usb cdrom, but no usb hdd. what can I do. Heard somwhere that you can set boot from floppy(internal) as first priority and point to the device you want to boot. is this true, if so how do you do it?
