I looked at the zipslack, notice it only discuss about installing on fat32 file system. my only option is to install on a usb external harddrive, during my research, I have found a belkin ide harddisk usb enclosure, which will enable me to have a external ide harddrive, rather then a second internal drive, I could use the external drive as a backup as well as linux distro. any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, > > >john
