General Discussion

I noticed these new USB drives on the market and was wondering if any of you knew what they did and how?

Are they actually useful or is it some kind of BS hype? I'm wondering if you could just stick it in and boot an OS of it on any computer you come across. Highly doubtful, but it would be nice.

Can anyone give me the rundown? Thanks...

Well I'm off again to God knows where.
I'll be back in two weeks. However, this time I may be able to come online once or twice since we have a laptop this time.
Mind you, I'm still taking my USB.
Just like to say thanks to John again, since we are borrowing someone else's laptop and my dad thought we were stuffed cause it only had Outlook and he didn't want to modify it.
I showed him Portable Thunderbird. He is converted.
Anyway, any questions, comments etc?
Those icons are pretty much done for Libertà (well only the folder icon is done but that's the base) except for the main one. Choose a font Steve! Unless, you don't read your emails anymore...

I can;t seem to get firefox, skype or thunderbird to run on my company laptop.
I'm assuming its to do with corporate firewall protection.
Any ways of overcoming this issue?

Thanks.

Hi Does anyone now what has happened to the USB Safe Unmount thread?

Thanks a lot for providing the RSS feeds which is giving a easy way to track the new info in this forum.

But the forum extension provided by Drupal seems not providing RSS feeds of user's reply to the forum topic. it only provide RSS feeds of new topic. If this can be changed to provide both, we will be more comvenient to get all info. Thanx again. Your efforts is greatly appreciated.

I'm wondering what programming environments/compilers/etc. are available. I have a 1gb usb flash drive. Right now I have dev-c++. I would prefer complete portability, but would do with something that writes some stuff to the registry and/or hard drive. I looked into a portable python but only found one that costs money so that was out of the question. Any portable java? delphi? Any at all.

Thanks!

For those of you who are interested in alternate internet browsing solutions, Opera 9 was released earlier today.

You can view the official press release here.

Does anyone know of a registry cleaner that i can run from my usb key or how to tell witch .dll are needed?

Just found the FramaKey portable apps site, and noticed that they too produce great portable apps. Maybe ppl are already working with FramaKey, but if not maybe this could be something for the future (i know the fact they are french may be a slight barrier in communicaiton). They seem to also produce the some of the same apps, but also others such as PortableInkscape, and Portable7zip to name but a few.

I'm not a developer or anything, just someone who appriciates the work done by everyone here.

Well people I just thought that I would update you on all thats going on as regards to Libertà at the moment,

Sync 2.1 is 95% complete. This new revision will add a number of Firefox cache changing options and a couple of other small enhancements.

Backup 2.0 RC2 is 90% complete. This revision adds the option to append and existing archive, restore an archive and the ability to use the time and date in the file name. It also speeds up the backup process by almost 100%.

I would also like to announce two new programs that have only been under code-names before.
