I'm running Suse 10 as a file server at home using an external DVD writer and it took a little fiddling to get it to show up everywhere but it works fine. Later this evening after work I will look at what I used for my settings and pass it along to you.

Regarding beaing able to boot, what motherboard or PC are you using. Most of mine have an option for "Boot Other Device" which defaults to SCSI, USB, or SATA. My main desktop uses SCSI but if I have any type of USB drive (including thumb) it won't boot because no OS so it goes to USB before SCSI - not sure about SATA. Anyway - it is trying to boot from the USB device so setting to "other Device" if available as an option, should work.
