Booting Linux off U3 CD Partition

I know that most computers aren't compatible with usb boot. However the u3
installer creates a fake cd partition for u3 enabled drives.
I found out how to take advantage of this from this artitcle that
smithtech wrote here.

First of all I would like to know....

1) How in the world do you create an iso image? Even 7-zip seems to be useless
when it comes to iso files (it only supports extract).

2) Will it be possible to make the cd partition the default partition to boot

Gameless Packaging

Submitted by reepicheep on November 4, 2008 - 7:12am

When the new version of the menu is released could the default packaging of the suites be altered. In a professional environment it does not create a good image for two of the three offerings to have games included.

Having "professional" versions of the suites would be better. Then, for those who want entertainment, have variants with the games. Maybe packaging all the games together as a separate download.

PAM + MyAHKScript = Problem

Submitted by Jacob Mastel on November 3, 2008 - 8:20pm

Okay I considered putting this into the OT forum but decided that it was relevent to PAM so I put it here. My problem is when I run this AHK script PAM pops up right after it sends the "#" during the pidgin areas. I posted the whole thing just in case any of it was relevant. If this is a bug in PAM here ya go if it's my fault can you tell me why?

#SingleInstance force ;Only allow once instance to run.  If one already exists it will be over written.

Anyone else eagerly awaiting USB 3.0? I will probably have to buy an external USB adapter to get full speeds of the new devices (won't upgrade motherboard for a while yet) and I hope that new thumb drives won't be too expensive because the first thing I want is a 8GB USB 3.0 thumb drive to place my PortableApps backup on Smile

[Request] Subforum for freeware

Submitted by entens on November 3, 2008 - 1:22pm

Alot of threads I've seen on this board have ended with the general statement "we only support OSS not freeware. Comeback when its OSS."

While this is great for the development and management of the official suite of portableapps, it would be nice to have a handy index of freeware apps that dont have a OSS solution available.
