Hi, 

I am very new to Galaxy and so far have only used the online interface.  However, I have an old Unix-running computer and I was hoping to run Galaxy as a local instance.  However, the computer has a very small hard drive, that is already half full, so I was wondering if there is any way I can run Galaxy by installing it on an external hard drive.  I tried already, and was able to install it properly and connect, but I get errors when I try to upload data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I don't have a lot of experience with Unix systems, so it might be something easy to solve or impossible to do, I have no idea. 

Thanks!
