    A friend of mine needs to install Linux to build a testing system at
    work. However, she wants to keep the original system image on the main
    HDD pristine.

    Can a lilo or grub floppy boot disk boot Debian from an external drive
    connected with either Firewire or USB 2.0? Can Debian run exclusively
    from said external drive?

    Thanks,
    Jonathan Brandmeyer
