Fedora project has created a simple script to install Fedora 7 on a USB Drive with 1GB+ capacity. To use the script you will need two things:
1. A working Fedora 7 installation. You can download the Fedora 7 DVD iso image from here. You will have to burn the image to a DVD and install Fedora 7 from it.
2. Fedora 7 Live CD. You can get the CD image for one of the two available versions here.

The follow the instructions in this document to install Fedora 7 on USB drive. You will also need to change your BIOS so the USB drive is the first booting device. After that you can even remove the hard-disk from your machine and work just from the USB drive.

Note: Booting from USB drives may not be supported on older BIOS. First check for BIOS support before you proceed. You can find if your BIOS supports it by trying to change the first boot device to a USB drive in BIOS settings. See if you can upgrade the BIOS to solve the problem.

Hi
I have been using fedora since FC 7. I like it . I want to install to a USB external hard disk 80GB, can it be done as like in internal hard drive? Can this be used in other computer rather than where it was installed without interfering/conflicting primary hard drive and windows operating system? If yes please inform the procedure.

while creating an image(uImage) for my target at91rm9200, I got one zImage in the folder as output. As readme file is telling that uImage instruction creates uboot wrapped zImage. whether the output is correct? while using uImage instruction i got one message that uImgae cannot be created, then Image created successfully. What is the problem? any guess? I don’t know how to deploy the image on my target architecture any guide, site help, instruction set or commands for my Help.
