>I tried the same thing with a USB thumbdrive, but my Epia board
supported only USB 1.1, which is painfully slow to boot up. I assume
that hi-speed USB 2.0 is tolerable?
I've got an under-performing Kingston 4G that boots in about 70 seconds. I'm
working on a new Debian Lenny build in a VM that I'll transfer to a 2G OCZ
dual-channel that I figure will shave off about 30 seconds from the boot time.
Given that flash drives are so cheap, i figure it's easier to go that route and
swap drives when I do upgrades.

Thanks!
