Hey guys,
I have a few questions about partitoning and using exteranl HDs for ubuntu.
- What type of partition should I use? I'm using an app called "iPartitoner" which can format to pretty much any format under the sun, so does Linux prefer HFS+ or FAT32? Which would be the best?
- Also, what size is the minimum? I'm probabling going to go for around 30 GB..
- As for the actual installation, how do I select my external HDD (LaCie 160GB Firewire) as my installation partition? If I have it plugged in will the installation recognize it right away?
- And finally, are there any major compatibility issues if I use AMD64 vs. x86?
EDIT: -Also if you have any information about using Parallels with Ubuntu on an external HD that would be greatly appreciated (i.e. can it be done, will it recongnize it automaticily like it does with most Windows boots)
Thanks in advance!!
