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.

Has anyone seen the graphic John used on the splash?
Or does anyone have some suggestions on a good GPL/GFDL-ed USB graphic/picture? Cause I need a new one to replace mine on the PortaBlog logo.
Thanks.

What do most ppl have as their file system on their USB? And which one is better. I read that Fat is good because it safely ejects better or something.
