Bootable OS?

Submitted by dafizzle1234 on January 10, 2011 - 10:18am

So I've been thinking of this ever since I first started using PortableApps... What if it were possible to code a working operating system into portable apps. I'm talking very simple. Literally making it so it can just boot and display the apps available and make it able to get new ones via portable firefox etc etc etc. I know you'd have to code for drivers, and using Linux would be a great way to do that in a minimalist way. Any thoughts on this? Anyone want to tag team to make a working model? Thanks.

I recomend you Codelobster PHP Edition.
It's most powerful among free code editors.
Some advantages of this editor are: intellectual autocomplete, FTP,
folding code, navigation with Ctrl for all links and descriptions and
incremental searching
Important feature of this editor is presence of special plugins for
Drupal CMS, Joomla CMS, Smarty template engine, JQuery library, CodeIgniter framework,
CakePHP framework, Facebook social network and WordPress blogging platform.

Installing my old PortableApps.com on new pendrive

Submitted by buddybaker on January 8, 2011 - 4:42pm

I have PortableApps installed on a 4GB pen drive. I now have a new 16GB one.
I want to use PortableApps on the new one. Do I have to install everything on my new flash drive, thus having to configure everything again, or can I just copy and paste the files from the old to the new drive to have my PortableApps running there with the old configurations?
Thanks in advance.

Launchy and Relative Shortcut Icons

Submitted by wandersfar on January 2, 2011 - 11:02am

I'm trying to set up Launchy on my flash drive, with custom shortcut icons for my portable apps.

I've added Launchy to AutoPlay using this autorun.inf:

[Autorun]
Icon=\shortcuts\icons\Launchy.ico
Action=Launchy
ShellExecute=\Launchy\Launchy.exe

(On a side note, is there any reason not to use ShellExecute instead of Open? From what I've read, the only difference seems to be that Open is limited to .exe only, and ShellExecute can be used for any file or application, or even web addresses, so why would anyone ever use Open?)
