Eclipse on a thumbdrive

Submitted by sblandin on August 6, 2007 - 9:37am

I know that this topic has been addressed many times, but I am going to tell how I was able to have a working Eclipse on my thumbdrive without a JRE installed on the host computer.

EasyEclipse (http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/home/) is a customized distibution of Eclipse that comes with everything needed for the application to run (JRE included).

Which passwords are typicaly stored on a PortableApps USB Drive (including private data) ?

Submitted by munyard on August 6, 2007 - 6:07am

Hi,

I appear to have mislaid my 1GB Drive, which has a typical PortableApps and U3 installation on it and perhaps a few additional apps, like Skype, FileZilla, Komposer, Putty.

I am wondering what passwords are typically stored on the USB, in anticipation of what passwords I need to go ahead and change. So far I have changed passwords for Mozilla Plugins like del.icio.us and I have already changed my email account passwords.

What other passwords will Mozilla Store on the USB?

When I Use My U3 Flash Drive, I Usually Transfer Stuff To Another (Non-U3) Drive. But When Ever My U3 Drive Is Plugged In...
I Can Access Any Of The Other Flash Drives.
There On The "My Computer" Menu But When I Click It

THERE IS NOTHING ON THE DRIVE
not one file

i cannot even drag or save anything into it

When I Remove My U3 And Then Plug My Other Flash Drive In.
All My Files On The (Non-U3) Drive, Are There....

Is My U3 Flash Drive Stopping Me From Viewing My Other Drives?

Is it possible to have a knoppix.iso installed on a thumbdrive and still be able to use the portable apps in knoppix?(under wine). I was wondering because I will be getting an 120gig usb hdd and i want to partition it to be able to run knoppix.. and a few other batch files. It would be nice to be able to have a barebone knoppix.iso and just use the portable apps.

Formatting a USB device

Submitted by podman on August 5, 2007 - 5:58am

Hi, I'm new here, and have what is probably a very daft question, but please bear with me. I've just bought my first USB device and am looking forward to filling it with portable apps. So, on to the question:

I have an Integral Ice 2GB USB flash drive, which has password protection on it, which is accessed by a file called USB Disk Pro v2.7 (UDPv270.exe). This allows you to set a password and format the drive into a protected and unprotected partition (appearing as two drive letters on XP). Both are formatted FAT. My question is in two parts:

Error: G:\Access Denied Headache

Submitted by Lindsey on August 3, 2007 - 7:46pm

I keep receiving an error dialog box that states, "G:\Access Denied" when I click on "Open with Pendrive Program" in the WINXP Action to take box, after I plug in my Memorex USB Flashdrive.
I've never received this message in more than a year -until I recently intalled a program directly into the portable apps directory on the flash.
Usually I first install a program on my local harddrive, then transfer the .exe into a portable apps directory I've created for it.

@ John : Version History

Submitted by wsm23 on August 3, 2007 - 2:00pm

Slight complaint. (very slight)

When you release a new app could you please also update the version history.

I use this to tell if I need to download your version or if I can just use the one that is auto-updated with apps like FF and TB.

I would want to know if you have made improvements or modifications to the launcher etc.

This would also help those out there who do not have unlimited bandwidth and they could see what they are getting int the new version.

Thanks again.
