linux use

Submitted by georgemcbaingage on August 31, 2007 - 4:31am

Just a general question which I am sure has been raised before. one of the main reasons I like the portable appliances so much is the fact that I can continue to use the same applications that I use at home on my linux box while at work and forced to use windows. the drawback being mainly, firefox, the data I collect on my usb drive such as fav's/contacts in thunderbird etc, cant be tranfered to my linux machine, or can they be. to be able to run on both OS's would be best but just to be able to move favs from thunderbird would be useful

Hi, Nowdays most, if not all, USB flash drives come with preloaded software and formating to some extent. I don't know if I'm fully commited to installing PortableApps so I have a few questions.

1) Does PortableApps rewrite/reformat the entire drive or is it a standalone program?

> a)If so, is there a way to back up/rip ever piece of software/formating that is preloaded on the drive?

2)Does PortableApps also give me the option to save settings/desktop environment or just programs?

None of the apps will start up

Hello, I recently bought an 8 gb flash drive and have been looking to get some portable apps on it! I just installed the standard suite to the root directory of my flash drive, howver every time I try to start any of the portable apps exe's I get this error message:

Any ideas?
