Agreed, "new laptop" is going to be the long term plan. > AFAIK Mandriva Flash is > only available from Mandriva, unless you can find someone willing to sell > theirs. 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??
