I eventually bought a Panasonic UJ850 DVD burner and I am able to copy
my daily backup to a DVD+WR w/o any problems. I have done a few restores
to confirm that.
Since my daily backup resides on a Flash Drive accessed via USB 1.1, I
now strongly suspect that I could have bought an external USB DVD

The old laptop only has USB 1.1 and I believe I read somewhere - can't
find where .. that this is too slow to burn DVD's .. only CD's.
Is there any truth to this .. any workaround?
Thanks!

This old laptop's BIOS only lets me boot off of a floppy/CD-ROM/hard
drive.
Is there any way I could boot off of a USB flash drive - as in booting
off of a floppy or the hard drive and switching to /dev/sda when the
time comes to load the kernel?
Thanks!
