[QUOTE="edokid, post: 142545, member: 259418"] I'm just confused as to why it's too slow. I know firewire is typically faster since its a constant transfer rate at 400mbps, but with nothing running shouldn't usb be 480mbps? Either way where I'm confused is that the ubuntu CD detected the USB drive and installed to it without a problem. When it couldn't install yaboot it said to boot manually using root=/dev/sda3. I'm not THAT good in Linux to know what that means, but is there no way to force it to boot by passing parameters to the kernel off the CD or some other method? [/QUOTE]
