Also, if you can spare the space on the internal HD, put the system and
data on the external drive, and put the swap-partition on the internal one.
This will speed things up considerably. The only disadvantage of this
configuration is that crashdumps won't work as intended, but then again,
I've only seen one crash procudcing a crashdump, so far.
