I believe that the only change you'd need is to add the 'noatime' option
to the fstab. Otherwise, I understand that it works fine as a storage
volume. If you'd like to boot from it then there may be a couple other
things. I remember reading something from either the Knoppix or Mandrake
Move documentation that the computer sees it as a huge floppy.
