I have a friend who wants to know if there's a way he can install Ubuntu 8.04 onto a USB external hard drive and boot Linux from that, while keeping Vista on his laptop. Could you help, please?

Hi and this Installing on external or RAID hard disks (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installing%20on%20external%20or%20RAI D%20hard%20disks) should help

Thanks, I'll pass the link along to him. :) I'm guessing the "How to dual-boot Ubuntu and XP after installing them separately on two HDs" should still hold true for Vista.
