Portable Apps for Linux?
I'm a big fan of portable apps and have my flash drive fully stocked on those that I find most useful. However, I often find myself wishing for a similar approach for linux.
Does anyone know of any sort of movement within the linux community to make various software (and all dependencies!) into a portable version? |
Hi -
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "a portable app". Could you give us a couple of examples? TIA .. PSM |

Hi,
Hmmmmm.....AFAIK, the closer approach will be using DLS from a USB stick or to follow some of those online guides about make your own livecd and put it in a flash drive, but I don't think that there's nothing exactly as PortableApps (at least I've never reed about it). Regards |
Firefox and Thunderbird can be ran from usb, if they are installed on the pc you are using just point the profile to the usb key to use your profile.

Linux's approach is much much better! Quote:
And you can try slax as well, just browse to upper folders. but personally, I prefer Wolvix. |
Forgot the mention, my first personal version of Wolvix is on a *128M-only* usb key! with all the tools that *I* wanted!!!
