Create a physical, removable Home
Authored by: englabenny on May 28, '03 10:18:43AM

Anyone who has tried to put their entire home folder on a USB-keychain-disk? I think that would be really cool, if you had a disk with enough space... It is doable, right?

Create a physical, removable Home

i believe this is possible with an iPod, or it was pre-Jaguar, you just copied your home to the ipod and then modify the home location in NetInfo Manager then delete your home folder from your mac, just make sure that you plug in the iPod before you log in.

essentially it would be like moving your home folder to another disc or partition.

Create a physical, removable Home

Did it yesterday with a few command lines. But USB 1.1 is _slow_ and Apple does not yet support USB 2.0 nor are USB 2.0 flash drives available yet. Even with USB 2.0 flash drives the flash memory is inherently slow.

They have had a USB 2.0 in 128 & 256 since about Feb.
