U3 Apps (Discontinued)

I have posted on the mozillazine forums and recieved no joy so perhaps someone here can help.
Links from there to these urls also have provided no joy or assistance:-

I have set up thuderbird portable on a U3 usb flash drive and have sucessfully set up an account based on a new mailbox with my ISP. This works sucessfully on more than one computer.

Question 1.)
Would it be posible to boot to a U3's CDFS partition on a PC that supports booting to USB Flash Drive or USB Hard Drives?

Question 2.)
Has anyone been able to make a U3 CDFS partition bigger than the default 6MB or so. Say like 700MB or maybe bigger?

Many thanks,

MrChris

I was only aware of PortableApps, until I bought a new SanDisk USB Flash Drive and found that it came pre-loaded with U3. Then I was a bit confused because it seemed to be covering much the same territory as PortableApps. (Should I use one or the other or both?)

I think it would be really useful to have a link from the PortableApps home page to a page that compares and contrasts U3 andPortableApps.

This topic was "bookmarks" ... but I feel it important to make more visible for users of U3 and Avast! to see. The issue is FireFox under U3 starts leaving behind tons of old temporary bookmark files like these (notice time created):

I've noticed that the U3 version of openoffice seems to freeze alot. It just does this randomly. I'm new to Portable apps, so this is all I have to post right now.

Hello John!

Plz, I have an USB flash drive w/ U3.

What's the difference between FF 2.0 portable an FF 2.0 for U3?

Only the shortcut added on launchpad? Or something else?

Tks and your apps are NICE!!

Why does the install package remain on the U3 device? I would like to use U3 OpenOffice. But it's kinda annoying when after install the drive's down a 230MB capacity. This could easily be reduced to 160MB just by deleting the 70MB install package. Yes I have tried deleting it. Deleting the package renders the application unusable... Very annoying indeed. I think I'll just try the Portable Package instead, and try to make an icon with the software I just found here. Would be nice though if you could make it so that the U3 version deleted the install package itself without the need for it afterw

Hello

I have a Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4Gb U3 Edition

Each time I try to run Firefox or thunderbird it fails. (no specific reason)

It just says:

"U3 Launchpad

An Error has occured while trying to start the selected program."

Seems to be the launchpad, but all other applications just works fine.

I've the last version of the launchpad sandisk edition.

Regards,

M.

Every time I use Firefox Portable v.1.5.0.8, or if I haven't updated, v.1.5.0.70, it replaces my version, which is the new 2.0, that's already on my hard drive, with whatever version of Firefox I have on my U3 Drive, and I have to re-install Firefox 2.0 to get it back onto my hard drive. Is there a way to fix this?
