Oren was talking last week at the meeting about putting Thunderbird on a flash drive and so this seemed appropriate.
Windows-only for now.
PUTTING FIREFOX AND THUNDERBIRD ON A FLASH DRIVE I had a caller on the radio show last week who wanted to put Firefox and Thunderbird on a USB flash drive. I said it could be done, but that it would take some work that I just could not explain on the air. (Note: If you don't know what a flash drive is, I cover that below in the Rookie Rundown below.)
The way that I did it was to create a profile on the drive, copy some files and do a bit more tweaking. Well, Brad, in Spring Hill, TN, wrote me to say that much of the work has been done already. You just have to download the portable versions. You can find all of the details on these sites. Thank you, Brad! You rock! http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/portable_firefox/ http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/portable_thunderbird/
