[Peeweelinux] newbie wants to target USB HDD

[dan latham]

I'm running RH 7.3, so I'll look into the compatibility script you 
mentioned. I've not
done anything in that regard.

As background to what I'm doing, I'm playing with building a dedicated 
Linux-based
MP3 player. I'm developing on an HP laptop with RH 7.3. The box I'm 
developing for
is a EPIA Mini-ITX. It seemed like an easy way to build images and try them out
would be to write to a USB device and then boot from USB.  So my first attempt
was just getting the OS on a USB HDD from the laptop. That seems like it 
will be
no problem. But the Mini-ITX only supports booting off a USB FDD. So I've 
ordered a
Netac Dual-Bootable OnlyDisk that can switch to appear as a FDD. So my plan
is to build the image on the laptop to the USB drive and then plug it into 
the Mini-ITX
and test. Seems like it should work :)

In the meantime, I'm getting acquainted with PeeWee Linux. It's a
great tool for someone who knows next to nothing about developing embedded
Linux.
