Very, very restrictive college network

Submitted by Hypahnova on September 9, 2008 - 9:05am

Not entirely sure whether this should be in off topic or not, so sorry if I'm mistaken.

Yesterday was my first day at a new college, unlike my old college, the network is incredibly restrictive compared to my old one, no installing anything, firefox portable just has a broken icon and won't load, no display control panel... The most I can do is run .exes from USB, and change the wallpaper.

Portable PGP?

Submitted by YossariansGhost on September 7, 2008 - 2:20pm

I have been following the threads about WinPT, GPG and other portable PGP applications for a while, since a truly portable, stand alone PGP/GPG application would be my current #1 want.

However, for those developing the apps, it seems to be some tough going.

So, I have continued to search...

What about this? http://ppgp.sourceforge.net/

Update reports

I haven't found any place to put this. Does a place/thread exist where users can report new version? You simply can't have an eye on all applications.

ClaimAV is updated. 0.94

I don't get updates. If I take a look at the report I see

"WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.93.1 Recommended version: 0.94"

Installing to a CD-RW

Submitted by prskater on September 5, 2008 - 1:31pm

I'm trying out the portable apps by installing the Suite Lite to a CD-RW (700mb). Yet, when I try to install, a message pops up saying that there is not enough room. I have just reformatted the CD-RW and still I'm unable to install. Is it possible to install to a CD-RW? Thanks

portable apps menu change?

Submitted by mdiviesti on September 5, 2008 - 11:46am

Would it be possible for the next release?

Currently, I have firefox2 and firefox3 installed to portable. On the menu however, both show up "Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition" which is the "product name" at assembly.

Could it be possible that this is changed to read product name only if summery subject is not added? This way, the user can control how it appears on the menu.

Thanks
Mike

Windows only: You've seen its flashy features and were impressed with its speed, and now you wish you could put Google Chrome on your thumb drive and take it with you wherever you go? It's far from official, but German blogger Caschy has put together a portable version of Google Chrome you can run off your thumb drive. Just unzip the download to your thumb drive and run ChromeLoader.exe. All your Chrome settings and profile information now save to your thumb drive.
