General Discussion

Okay I have been visiting pen drive apps and pen drive linux which is very similar to portable apps allot lately. I have knowticed that pen drive linux has their own linux distribution or version of linux. Are there any plans that the portable apps community has to make their own linux distribution? When I saw that linux was coming soon I was thinking about something like Ubuntu or Mandriva or Fedora.

I am making a directory for you if you want to run linux,
Persistent linux- A boot-able linux.
Vm Linux-Linux- As a quest opperating system under windows.

Almost all of you could find this sites useful.

http://www.linux.com/distributions/
Persistent
Try Unetbootin. It will make supportive hardware of portable memory bootable.
http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
*Many distributions of linux have utilities to make their distribution bootable on a usb drive.
Also try infra recorder to burn a disk image to a cd.

I don't know who I should be telling but I am frequently seeing a warning message at the top of the page saying The selected file /var/www/vhosts/portableapps.com/httpdocs/tmp/filev2h35O could not be copied.

Hi all,

I think that most of you know the NVDA project.
I wonder if it could be possible to add this app in your portable suite ?

From what Ihave read I understand that I can load a flash drive with Portable Apps which includes Fire fox email

My question is this once I have the email provider on my flash drive do I have to set up an account in the same way as I did on my computer

Once set up can I then send and receive emails from someone elses computer using the portable Apps email

can I use another computer even though that computer has no email installed

I have a few questions about the INI File.

Is safe to have multiple instances running?
Are there any other things that you recomend adding?
I want to know what to add for all apps or a specific one (please specify).

Not getting the Autorun menu and "What would you like Windows to do?" dialog box on my home PC for my flash drive and phone. They don't even show up in My Computer. They work as expected on the work computer, though. Any suggestions?

I would like to put portableapps onto an SDHC card which I would leave permanently in my Samsung netbook. How can I get some sort of a start menu (possibly from an icoin in the system tray) to show and run the programs on the SD card?

I'm posting to let the community know that I have informed XeroBank Browser of their violation of the GPL. As many know, XeroBank grew out of TorPark and is a combination of Firefox and Tor to allow secure connections of Firefox to the Tor Onion Router Network for anonymous web browsing. TorPark is based on my own original Portable Firefox code and I worked with the original TorPark developer on the initial versions. As that developer continued to work on it and enhance it and later switched the license from the GPL to a proprietary license that forbids commercial competition.

For some apps such as PAC and RegShot, and in making a PortableApp, you say you need a fresh install of the application, or that the computer must not contain a trace of the application.

Does this mean that it must have never been installed on the computer ever, or will a simple uninstall do, or do i have to use RegEdit and search the registry for the app name and delete the entries?

Please explain...
