Smoothwall + flashdisk

[Praeses]

Does anybody know how I would be able to install smoothwall onto a usb thumb drive? The old P3 PC can boot from USB drives via the bios, but I doubt smoothwall would see the flash drive as a hard drive to install onto. Any suggestions?

You need to ask our resident Librarian!

It is possible.

A thread on the community forums covers that just nicely :

Have fun!

PS : If you haven't got international access, do let me know, and I'll make a plan

If the PC you want to use can't boot from USB, it probably isn't a very good idea to install the OS to it. Unless you're using a CD or harddrive with the /boot partition on, you're not actually going to be able to get into the OS itself.
