Since from what I understand, it'll be based on the same backend as firefox, is it concievable that it could be made portable? Actually, with the alpha version as it is now, is it able to be made portable?
(I realize the seamonkey question has come up a number of times, but I also saw that most topic that asked about the Suiterunner the topic kinda died there before an answer was given.)

Ask them if they *finally* support the -profile switch which Firefox has had since version 0.9+. If they do, then yes. If they don't, then no.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Download the zipped version (if any, if not install and copy the installation) and place it on the root of your pendrive, on a folder called Seamonkey. Create a folder called SeamonkeyProfile also on the root of your pendrive (is there were you want to put a custom profile if you want). Create a batch file, (like the ones on original firefox releases) that contains the following:
start \Seamonkey\seamonkey.exe -profile \SeamonkeyProfile(change the code to support the pats you made, if not following my ideas)
If it starts from the default installation on the pc, then it is not possible; but if it starts from SeamonkeyPortable, the you're on a good way (tip: if you let SeamonkeyProfile empty, and after you start that file, that folder has files, then you're in a good way)!!!

Blue is everything.
start \Seamonkey\seamonkey.exe -profile \SeamonkeyProfile
does not work
start .\Seamonkey\seamonkey.exe -profile \SeamonkeyProfile
does not work and returns an error saying that an instance is already running (even if it's not)
However, if I change it like so
start .\Seamonkey\seamonkey.exe -profile .\SeamonkeyProfile
It DOES work, and fills in the blank folder with the profile files.
There may be a chance.
ExecWait `"$EXEDIR\App\seamonkey\seamonkey.exe" -profile "$PROFILEDIRECTORY"`would probably work for it in NSIS.----

I'm not sure what you mean. By that post.
(not familiar with what NSIS is. I'm guessing you might mean Nullsoft Scriptable Install System as that's the only thing I can think of that matches that acronym.)
I did a quick test, I put a Firefoxportable.ini file with the following
[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\seamonkey
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
FirefoxExecutable=seamonkey.exe
and it looks like it's working.
profile info was directed correctly, is there anything I could check to make sure it's doing it all right and not relying on the local machine more than it should?
That was just a post for John to point out that it's possible. I'll take a look at this and might do it if John doesn't steal it off me. Note to self: do Seamonkey Portable and Miro Portable.

Wow, I just noticed I still had a signature, that's enough of that.
Steal it off you? Let's see:
1. I've said for well over a year that I'd do it when they *FINALLY* support the -profile switch.
2. It's all my code

I'll post a test version of it this weekend since it's just a simple change to a couple of my scripts.
EDIT: Actually, I'll just post the launcher and all the bits. It's in pre-alpha stage right now, so most people are running nightly builds (as they should be).

...what's the deal w/ SeaMonkey's LOGO?...
(A tern, gull or some sorta seabird on a water-themed background).
1) What does that have to do with a monkey?
2) And wth even IS a "seamonkey"?...:
Last I recall, "seamonkeys" were that gimmicky "pet" advertised in comic books when I was a kid. Turns out they were actually brine shrimp, not any sort of wondrous new sea-critter resembling monkeys in any way.
It doth maketh no sense.
If they're gonna keep this logo, I move that they call the app "Albatross"

...it sure looks like a bloody sea bird.
They need to draw in the various appendages to make it more accurate.
Until then, we're left with a BLOODY SEA BIRD that has NO RESEMBLANCE of any kind to a bloody MONKEY!!!
