Re: ISO to external SSD

[Gunnar Gervin <dofeelok@gmail.com>]

Dan,

40-50% of my ssd, is that correct

For i386 or amd64? If I take both

I'll still have 149gb. Interesting. I can do it, because the original need of the ssd evaporated. Thus it's possible to try both into the old mac(hine). But in that list you linked to, are a lot more than those two ISO images. Would I need a virtual Pile of 1TB SSD's?

By distro, do you mean the complete package repository?
