Can I attach a USB external drive to a Mac and boot from it?
Specifically, will I be able to install Snow Leopard from an external USB DVD drive on a modern Intel Macbook?

Scannerz just gave my MacBook logic board a big fat F!
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion about 3 weeks ago. The system was running short of memory so I upgraded it. The system was running fine for about 2 weeks.
