    [SOLVED] Installing Hardy on external HDD

    Dear all!

    I decided to try and follow, mutatis mutandis, DaBruGo's archived tutorial titled SUCCESS - Breezy loaded on external USB drive! (started in Oct. 2005):
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80811
    Now as I reached Step 3, i.e. partitioning, and more specifically, "Prepare partitions > Edit partition", I began to wonder about the mount point. I suppose it must be just "/", but I'd like to be absolutely sure.

    If you did not already figure it out, I'm trying to install Hardy on a partition of 20GB on an external HDD (WD 500 GB), i.e. /dev/sda4 in my desktop PC, running WinXP on the internal HDD (kids wanna play Sims, that's my only excuse to keep WinXP on /dev/hda1...).

    I could not find much information on installing Hardy on an external USB hard drive, so help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
