Installing FC3 to a USB HD requires a drivers disk or something similar?

[sergiu at zergiu.com]

Hi,
I've tried that almost a year ago. Didn't worked. From what I've found out during my research on google, was that a 
special built kernel is needed. I don't remember is the needed code is in kernel (FC3 or vanilla) or the patch is 
available separately, but ... it doesn't work out of the box, thats for sure.
Sergiu.
