I'm not sure if you have a question? If your laptop boots from a USB device, and you have an external harddisk (that is not in use), and you want to try out FreeBSD, - just go ahead and try it. The windows bootloader (2k/xp) can be configured to boot FreeBSD, there are descriptions on how to do this on the net (Google fro them). Note: I haven't tried to boot from a usb-attached disk myself (I'm missing some parts) so I can give you no further advice. Good luck. -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
