I see your point. Has anyone created a distribution for a Flash Drive? Has anyone created a start script that will remount for any Windows system? I have seen a couple older posts talking about compressed executables (upx I think), but no follow-ups.

processing, and other critical tools on the flash drive.


I don't see the benefit of U3.  You can put the standalone PuTTY
binaries on ANY flash drive.  You can also install Cygwin to a flash
drive.  Making it portable takes a few extra steps (basically you set
up a bat file which adds the Cygwin mounts to the new computer).
