Well some bios' have the ability to boot from USB, you should look into if yours can. Then if it can install it on on the external drive and set the bios to boot from USB.

Re: Linux USB Dual Booting
Ok so i just tried to install fedora core and when i got to the partitioning setup it did not list my external HD as one of the options to partition.
I do have USB booting in my BIOS and when it was loading the installer i remember it saying it loaded the USB something it flashed by too fast but does anybody have any suggestions?

I haven't read through it too much, but I think this guide may be what you are looking for.

Re: Linux USB Dual Booting
I have to agree with Matt. Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.06) has really set the bar for what a Linux distribution should be.
