[QUOTE="Sir Edwin CBE, post: 1241317, member: 42023"] Cheers for the reply AFAIK, it can't boot from USB at all - hard drives, disk drives or thumb drives. I'm trying to source a firewire drive for free/cheap right now, maybe put Linux on it, or get a Panther/Tiger disk from a friend. I'll try recharging the battery now I've fully drained it. I'm not too fussed if it needs the power lead all of the time, as long as I can do something to perk the system up a little more. I'm trying lightweight apps the now as I'm with you - my processor is the bottleneck. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Could I do this, or something similar?
