OK, but we ARE talking about U3 package, not the standard distro. >> Or at least it's "supposed" to be portable, and being advertized as >> designed for USB sticks. >> >It's been designed for U3 USB sticks - therefore the name - not for >common *none U3* sticks. I've worked a lot with portable software, and usually if it works on one type of usb drive, it works on all usb drives. I've never seen a program designed to work only on U3 USB drives, but not regular USB drives. I mean this is first such case that I've encountered. >> That's the package that I've been struggling with.

I hear you. >Go Google yourself for U3 before firing any more of those uninformed >mails to the list ... My knowledge of U3 is indeed superficial. In fact, I learned enough about them to know that I prefer to use regular USB drives rather than U3. And since I don't really plan on using U3, I'm somewhat relactant to really research them in depth. But I apologize if my posts showed lack of knowledge of U3. >P.S: I guess your demanding tone and uninformed mails won't encourage >any of the developers to spend some of their own spare time to >improve the situation here (at least I won't do) ... > >_______________________________________________ >Wireshark-users mailing list >Wireshark-users@wireshark.org >http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users Sorry, I didn't know you were a developer (till you mentioned that it's you who put in the -P switch which I only saw after my post). I'm new to this list, and your signiture doesn't mention that you're a developer. Sometimes users critisize software between themselves just to get a better understanding of its limitations and weaknesses. Take it easy. I love Wireshark, and I'm using U3 package after all :) If developers refused to develop software because somebody was critical of their work, we probably wouldn't have any software development at all :) Besides I didn't critisize your -P switch :) (oh, well, except for the fact that it doesn't accept the relative paths ;o) ...) -- _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
