to try <a href="http://portableapps.com/">http://portableapps.com/</a> I think
some one on this list suggested this a while back. Just for grins and giggles I
installed it(under window$) on my 60gb ipod video and it worked. It works ok as
long it’s a usb 2.0 device. I don’t think you’ll be able to
do everything you want to do, but give a try anyway. Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

while, but I use to live in DM and visited many of your meetings. My job
ended and I moved to NM. I've never un-subbed from the list, since it's
so useful.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, I have a friend who will be traveling around the world, and using
mostly internet cafe, etc. for most of her communication and
photography. That probably means multiple OS's (Windoze, Nix, Live-CD's, Mac),
in use. <br>
<br>
I figured using an SD card inserted to a Mobile USB SD/Reader/Writer
would work. I have been using U3 programs, some being
cross-platform, (Firefox, Gimp, NVu, J-album, FileZilla etc). <br>
<br>
My question is, how do some of the different NIX's handle USB drives? For
example, one night at a DM-LUG meeting we put Mandrake on my laptop. It's
never been able to see the USB drives (or my wifi nic), so I still spend
a lot of time in 'Doze land. Ubuntu seems to have similar issues too, but
that's another story.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have some first-hand knowledge on the above app's working on
different distro's? Or, any thoughts on what to use to clean
up, photo's, put them in to web pages, write about them and upload to
wherever, keeping in mind doing it from a thumb drive via internet cafe's?<br>
<br>
She is not very computer savvy, so the KISS principle should be
employed here. <br>
Thanks<br>
Lance<br>
