Fast Usb Filemanager

Submitted by Beano on April 24, 2006 - 10:59pm

Most flash drives won't handle many files at once, installing. When you install any file 5mb can take 8 mins if it has a lot of files. If one by one is installing the install process would go much faster like in seconds. I hope somebody could come up with a program that would be like a file manager for usb devices, but would install files one by one.

Slax... is a portable OS based in Slackware Linux. Why is not here?
Anybody knows other free OS for USB with a simple installer¿?

Portable Filetypes?

Submitted by dyce on April 24, 2006 - 2:03am

can someone make an app that sets which files are opened with what on the portable usb? like i have photoshop, and i want to open some image file, but first of all, after plugging in my usb, i run the filetype thing and then just click on the file and it opens with the photoshop on my usb drive. then before ejecting, it resets the filetypes back to default. this could come in handy.

Possible Open source Ceedo or U3 (ish) software??

Submitted by trex on April 23, 2006 - 11:18pm

I know PStart available here provide links and stuff, but for one, the links added on one computer will not work on another.... two PStart does not start when the flash drive is pluged in.

So it is really difficult to implement something like Ceedo or U3 interface?? I am not saying we need the programs installed via that program as we all get it from here... but a Ceedo or U3 interface launcher would really be nice???

Portable QEMU

I would prefere having a portable QEMU made that would allow anyone to install the OS of their choosing rather than having a portable OS premade for them. It would be absolutly great if this QEMU used the QVM86 virtualization software (KQEMU is closed source, but QVM86 is GPL) as virtualization seriously helps QEMU. Also, if a GUI for QEMU (I reccomend QEMU manager) were to be made portable along with it that would be even better. You could preload a few QEMU portable OS's as premade, but I think that making a portable QEMU would be best of all. I use QEMU a lot, and would love to be able to take it with me.

Portable R

Would really love to see if someone could come out with a portable version of R (see http://www.r-project.org). R is one of the nicer free scientific computing environments out there. Its fast enough and has sufficiently simple syntax to be used as a calculator as well.

BTW, love Portable Firefox.
