If I install linux to my usb drive is it possible to boot from that
drive bypassing my internal hd ? My bios says I can select a usb
drive to boot from but I don't know how to make the drive bootable or
if it still requires the internal drive.

Thanks,
Pete

See: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ for an example of how to make
a bootable USB.
