Agreed, "new laptop" is going to be the long term plan.

I found instructions on how to accomplish basically the same thing with 
a Mandriva derivative:
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/make-your-own-portable-mandriva-flash/

I might try that, but for now, I'm going to try to copy my current 
install to a new drive and use that.


Any thoughts on Western Digital vs. Seagate 500GB hard SATA drives?  I 
found these at Best Buy:
Seagate 500GB   7200rpm $139.99
        500GB   5400rpm $119.99
WD      500GB   5400rpm $ 99.99

Would the 7200rpm be worth an extra $20? ...an extra $40??

Thanks again for all your thoughts and suggestions!
