    Hi,
    I got my eye on a Tablet PC with a 855GM chipset (Fujitsu T3010). It comes without a floppy or CD-/DVD drive and I am wondering if I can simply use my bootable USB flash drive or an external CD-/DVD-/HD drive to boot (and install the OS).

    I tried Google but only found this link which does not say anything about booting from USB. :(

    So...booting from USB - possible or not? :confused:

    Thanks in advance!
