Subject: Linux on Expansion Bay Drive

Hi,
I have a question and a request for advice:
1) Does the MacOS not allow another startup device to be selected
when Multiple users is enabled? The Startup Disk control panel and
command-option-shift-delete do not work.
2) I have a Firewire Powerbook, on which I would like to install YDL
CS1.2. I burnt two CD's (the installer and the treats from the disk
images). Instead of moving everything off my internal HD,
reformatting, etc., I thought it would be easier and cleaner to
partition a HD in the expansion bay and install YDL on that. Problem
being I can't have both the HD and the CD-ROM in the bay
simultaneously. Any ideas as to how I should go about getting Linux
on this machine, one way or another?
FYI: The internal is 12 GB, the bay is an 8 GB.
Thanks in advance.
