It says on their website that their product is portable. But my friends say that this isn't true. Does anyone know the true answer???

Does using portable apps require any particular specifications from a USB drive? Can anyone suggest one with solid performance at a reasonable price?

Greetings all and welcome to a long overdue PortableApps.com update. Much has been afoot over the last few months, so I thought it time to get things back up to date.

App Releases

When the latest version of The GIMP (2.6.2) became available I couldn't remember out what version I had installed on my USB stick. The splash screen for The GIMP doesn't say what version the loader is starting. To find out I have to go check the About The Gimp menu option. As it happened I had version 2.6.1 installed.

In fact none of the splash screen tell you what version is starting. Would be nice if all the splash screens included version information.

Later I noticed that the splash screen for Firefox says "Firefox.,". That don't look nice.

I have recently found this site and Downloaded their tutorial, help, guide thingy, and I can never figure how to get it to work. Has anyone ever used this site and tutorial?

If so and got to work please tell me.

Also if you know of any really good tutorials on how to do this please share them whether video or text please share. Or if you could offer tips

Sorry if I put this in the wrong spot, but I did a search on both torpark and Xerobank both here and in google and had trouble sorting through the data. It appears these apps maybe one in the same.

I noticed that John was one of the developers so I thought I would ask, is Torpark and Xerobank one in the same app? or are they forks? Are they both still being maintained?

What is the major difference between them if they are? and are there still issues with network speeds?

Hi,

first of all let me say thanks for great software, I ve been searching for portable apps a long time.

I have few security questions:

Portable mozilla: if I have passwords keeping in my portable mozilla, doesnt public computer in anyway can get them.

Portable ftp: same goes for this one.

I have this question, as we do regular backups of our portal. We have access to trusted high optical connection computers, but they are in public use, and I am concerned if somebody would install trojan on such computer.

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
