Ideas For Portable Linux distros

Submitted by Goliath89 on May 22, 2007 - 5:10pm

I do not have a great knowledge of Linux but I do know of two very small distros that can run from memory stick that could perhaps be converted to run in windows with an emulator. They are Damn Small Linux and Puppy Linux. Both are pretty slick as I have tried them from Live CDs, Puppy Linux is a little bigger in size but is expandable with extra apps and is bit better on the eye where as Damn Small Linux is smaller but uglier.

GCC and cygwin portable

Submitted by PhreakOnALeash on May 22, 2007 - 3:12pm

Hi folks,

I am learning NSIS, in particular the portabilizing aspects of it. Smile

I want to portabilize the entire gcc toolchain, including cygwin (the only non portable part, imho...). I also want to portabilize the PRC-Tools plugin (prc-tools.sf.net) to aid in my PalmOS development.
I have Dev-C++ for desktop developement, GCC wouuld be solely for Palm developmtn now that I think of it.

is this feasible? How would I go about doing this?

Later Daze,

Sincerly yours

Apps Menu and apps with more than 1 exe file

Submitted by liquidus242 on May 21, 2007 - 12:00pm

The one thing i would like to see is the ability to organize apps in the menu, to be able to make separate sections or folders and instead of refreshing the app icons and it finding and displaying all exe files i would like to be able to point it to the exe file i want displayed in the menu and also be able to name that file myself within the menu(one program i would like this for is besweet it has 2 exe's and i only need to launch the one which is the gui)

Also some new skins or a way to skin it and customize it would be cool

Thanks
