what all can i do with itForum: USB booting Topic: what all can i do with it started by: DSL_newb Posted by DSL_newb on Aug. 12 2005,20:16
I have used Unix for years a work, but no longer. I miss it so I purchased the USB install of DSL to see if I might like to run Linux at home on my PC. I haven't installed yet but have a few questions about it's capabilities. If I run DSL from USB, will I be able to see my hard drive's in my PC as well? Meaning say I download something large from the internet, will I be able to save it on my hard drive? I understand that this can be ran inside windows. What would be the purpose in that? I know these are pretty basic questions, but I have never ran any form of Linux, especially a "mini" version. Also, I just looked at the "mini computers" DSL is selling and wonder what would be there main purpose as well. I mean there is no storage capacity so there is no way to save or load something other than on the pen drive that is running the OS?

thx! Also, if I am not going to run it in windows, but boot from the USB pen, can I then see the hard drive on my pc?
