General Discussion

Okay when i download the app and install it to the usb is that all i have to do

well heres my question

"DO I NEED TO HAVE THAT PROGRAM INSTALLED ON MY SYSTEM SO WHEN I CLICK IT OFF MY USB TO WORK"

or can i have the program just in my USB and it will work no matter if i have the program installed on my pc?

I'm sure we already know about this, maybe.
But I got a newsletter from US-CERT,
United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team.
And I don't know maybe this is a heads up for some,
maybe some coder/programmer would find a way to prevent this
whatever.
I just thought it is interesting and noticed if you scroll down that
you will see ( Mozilla has released Firefox 2.0.0.18, Firefox 3.0.4, and SeaMonkey 1.1.13 to address multiple vulnerabilities.).
This place releases something new every day.

1) To run the apps does my usb stick have to be in all the time for the program to work?

2) Can it overheat aka the usb flash drive?

Okay I have an important question and such.

I have a 8GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro and it already comes with U3 Program.

So is it possible for me to REMOVE it and add PORTABLE APPS?

Also how would I remove it??

and second question

if i only download

"Platform Only"

on the download pages can I INSTALL programs later??

Here's the situation:

I have the following drives:
c: local disk
d: dvd/cd+-rw
e: 4gb flash drive
f: USB external hdd
g: private network share
i: 2GB SD card

So the question is, how do I find out which is quickest for running my PortableApps on without having to actually test them all on each.

What I am looking for is some kind of speed test that will work regardless of where the drive is located.

Can anyone recommend a way to test the read/write speed of these various drives from windows?

Thanks.

I am sure you will all want to join me in saying Happy Birthday John T Haller.

All of us here on the site are over-awed by what you have achieved on the site and with what is coming in the future.

Have a great day John and here is to the next year of PortableApps.com!

ok so i know its been asked before
1. can we use the portable apps logo on a cd of the portable apps suite
2. can we redistribute the portable apps on a cd for profit (me thinks not but asking any way)
3. is there a list of people already doing this?

I have been searching, and I see a lot of fake sites and stuff. But could some one verify me if there is or is not a portable version of Avira or avg? Or anything better then clamwin?

Thanks!

just a suggestion could u make a "full" suite including all software that is "released" rather than the core light and normal add another one called full?

also a wiki for support may be a good thing to look at...... stops people asking silly questions .... (yeah right)

ok i know he grammar is shot but u get the idea.

As topic, can anyone tell me if portable apps here can be run in Win PE?
