You may be able to boot your Linux distribution from an RDX USB cartridge if the installer supports booting from USB removable disk devices and your system BIOS supports boot to USB devices. Support is available natively with the Fedora 6 installer. Fedora 5 can be made bootable with some workarounds. System BIOS typically does not support boot to SATA ATAPI devices. For this reason boot from the SATA RDX device is not typically supported. For instructions on setting up a bootable Linux USB RDX cartridge please see the “Booting Linux from RDX” whitepaper here.
