[SATLUG] installing to USB only

[scs at worldlinkisp.com]

I have a Dell laptop and I dont want a boot manager
installed on the internal HD (its a work laptop).. so
if I pull the internal hd and hook up a USB hard
drive, will I be able to install/boot linux?   Never
tried it this way but wanted to ask before I take the
plunge.
--------------------------------------------------
Yes provided the bios allows you to boot from a usb
device (and cdrom to setup linux on the usb drive).
