Is it possible to install openSUSE to an external usb hard drive, and have the BIOS boot from the external hard drive at startup, assuming that the hard drive is plugged in? I know that the BIOS can detect and boot from USB flash drives, but are external hard drives also supported? If it is possible, how does openSUSE handle performance-wise, working from an external drive?
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.
