Well, per se there is nothing wrong with disks in external enclosures,
is there? Assume I'd like to install FC on an Mac Mini, using an
external
large disk (be it USB or FireWire) for the Linux install and keeping
the internal disk for OSX?
Or if someone has time and is inclined to, take a gander at the patches
YDL did, so that they got YDL4 booting off a Firewire-based iPod
So while you're not getting a LiveCD, most "new" machines have options
to boot off USB (x86), and you've got Macs that most certainly boot off
Firewire (and USB), so maybe there's some future/interest in such a
project
