Hi,
New to portable apps. Have a question, and it may be a bit of a beginners question.
I also am in the process of making a USB that is a toolkit, e.g. using YUMI from pendrivelinux (which are not portable apps.)
Is there any disadvantage in installing PortableApps on such a USB stick rather than a simple off-the-shelf USB? Will everything run ok from the point of view of the Windows puter that navigates to the portable apps folder?
Allowing for the possibility that a boot menu might come up if you have the USB in the puter at the time of booting. Beyond that, are there any differences, difficulties or problems involved?
The advantage would be simple. One USB, not two.
Thanks!
Steven

So long as the YUMI USB drive isn't formatted with a Linux format it should work as you think.

Thanks. My plan was a FAT32 format. The various Linux and whatever ISO are installed there.
YUMI changes the MBR but once I have the FAT32, I simply navigate to the portableapps folder.
Just trying to kill two stones with one bird.
