I have a laptop with a 200MB harddisk. Since I want to run
X, I wonder if I can install FreeBSD and X on an external
340 MB Harddrive via the parallel port and keep DOS/WINDOWS
on the internal drive.

Can anyone tell me if this will work? Could I plug that drive 
to another PC and run FreeBSD there with no further actions?

thanks for help,

Johannes
