I have found a lot of articles on installing an entire<br>Linux distribution onto a USB memory key. What I want<br>to do is install Linux on an older computer, with an<br>80GB hard drive, but the BIOS doesn't like hard drives
<br>bigger than 64GB. The computer is one of those<br>systems built to fit inside a compact case, so there<br>is only room for one hard drive inside the case.</blockquote><div><br>Have you tried lying to the BIOS and telling it the drive is small enough to work with?. I remember having to do that with an 8G drive on a system that couldn't quite see the whole thing. Then Linux was able to see the extra space that neither the BIOS (nor Windows relying upon it) could work with. I think I used it for extra swap.
