[QUOTE="chscag, post: 934291, member: 46727"] That would be a lot of trouble to go through and you would wind up having to use a boot manager for EFI such as "rEFIt". BC is designed to work with the Windows type boot sector. Also, you can't use Boot Camp to partition an external hard drive, so that option is out. And as far as setting up Ubuntu on an external drive, while it certainly is possible, it's just not worth the trouble. Sammy gave you the best solution. Using Ubuntu in a VM is very easy to setup and run. VirtualBox is free and will run Ubuntu very nicely. Regards. [/QUOTE]
