Just a quick note on making apps portable: Usually, once you get a program working in WINE, that makes it portable. Just install the program to its own prefix, then copy the prefix folder to a thumb drive. Then you can plug the thumb drive into any computer with WINE, and run the program out of the prefix. You can even make launcher scripts on the thumb drive. It might be best to do this on an ext3 partition of your thumb drive. Cheers, Jake
