Hey all, forwarded to the list as it may be of general interest
thanks to Christian Herbig -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Christian Herbig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Gnumeric for windows as portable app Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 20:37:30 -0800 I tried to reply this solution to the mailing list, but I don't think it worked... Anyway, Gnumeric can already be run from a USB drive; during the installation process, just specify the install location as a folder on the USB drive. I have been doing this for a while now and I haven't had any problems with the software. Although it's not quite as tidy as a special build of the app, it works. -------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wwwkeys.pgp.net > From: Adrian Custer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: February 2, 2007 8:23:25 AM PST > To: Gnumeric list <[email protected]> > Subject: Gnumeric for windows as portable app > > > > > Hey all, > > > Recently, I discovered the portable app phenomenon, for windows apps > loaded onto usb flash drives.
