    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You can't install Linux on an NTFS as far as I know. However, you can reformat the USB drive with the Linux ext3 file system when you install it. I have done that any number of times without problems.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
