General Discussion

I'm fairly new to this - Is there a program for portable apps like the U3 password? i.e. When I insert my usb with portable apps menu installed , Is there a way to password protect access to the drive ordo I have to try and protect each application?

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in what brand(s) of USB drive u think is good and has worked well for u. and their read/write speeds.

I currently have 3 usb drive:

1GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro w/Skins
Speed: 18328 KB/s read,4428 KB/s write

1GB LG USB Drive
Speed: 7600 KB/s read,2800 KB/s write

512MB TekQ
Speed: 10102 KB/s read,930 KB/s write

Is it better to install to each drive, one at a time, or is it ok to install to one drive (or directory) and then copy and paste all the files to another drive (or directory)?

As I am sure that many of you have guessed I am working hard on the next version of Toucan, however there are some decisions that need to be made so I thought I'd ask you all for your opinions on a few points.

Languages

Firstly I am overhauling the language system in Toucan as the one in 1.1 wasn't really fit for purpose, which is why there are no language packs avalible. There are three options as to how it could work,

Hi.

I wish to offer application for development.

Modula-C-Pascal Compiler Strannik. ("The wanderer" on english)

From Strannik's site:

"The compiler Strannik was developed as first in the world the multilingual compiler. Strannik is convenient and the powerful tool for the programmer - professional.
Compiler is freeware.

This was a surprise.

Ryan I've been using your RSS Owl for a while, however I never changed computers with it. First time I moved to a different computer and tried to start it, I got this message, "Error, Cannot find installer.exe". What's that about?

I know it has been asked and discussed here before but I finally go it to work.
Here's a Screenshot

What You Need:
PEBuilder
Ultimate Boot Disc Windows
Sherpya XPE
PA autorun Plugin
The plugin is made to work with my menu, but you can edit it to launch PAM as well.

I'm not sure if anyone else has done this but here goes.

I travel a lot and like the idea of a USB key to give me some feeling of security when I'm working on a public computer. I've used PortableApps for the last few the years to work on foreign computers. I recently switched to PCLinuxOS (6 months now) and that has become my OS of choice. Using Linux requires booting the device with the USB key in it but some computers don't allow that.

My home network has a NAS device (Buffalo Link Station). When I install portable apps to this network share, everything works, except that when running any programm, including the menu, Windows XP always complains and tells me that "The publisher could not be verified" and asks if I really want to run this program.

This extra step is just plain irritating. Is there any way to turn this off?
