Hi All, anyone tried running asterisk/App_rpt from a USB drive?

Is it possible?

Interesting, I think I'm going to have to give that shot later today. As long as your BIOS sees it as a hard disk at boot, I don't see why not. The only issue would be the very slow disk I/O through USB 2.0, and no UDMA. I'm certain that someone here has tried it before and can offer some insight, if not I'll let you know how it works for me.

What about using usb drive to install ACID from?

Try this utility: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ It'll take a bootable .iso or even a raw kernel image and initrd and create a bootable USB device. I've used it to make installers for several different distributions and it worked great. The only possible flaw I can think of is if the CentOS installer specifically looks for a cd (which wouldn't exist) for its installation info. Again, it's no question that 10 minutes of free time and a little ambition wouldn't solve. Give it a shot and let everyone know how it goes!
