Keniv,

you might also be interested in RoxApps, which can also be run from wherever you want.

I just googled & saw that Amigo has some here.

e.g. if you download NuclearChess.tbz, then extract it somewhere, you can run it by clicking the extracted icon. Too see the internals, right click & choose "Look Inside".

Hi All

Just had time to get back to this. Downloaded wireshark (on the list as working in puppy) to my save file and made it executable. Tried to run it from here and it worked. Moved it to a flash drive and it ran from here as well although did get a warning about running it as root both times. I have not had much time to actually use wireshark to see if its working properly but so far I have had more success than with mplayer.

Muggins thanks for the links. I have had a quick look and will get back to them when I have a bit more time.

Regards,

Ken.

Hi Again

Now have wireshark, audacity and open office working from a flash drive. I really like these. Has anybody found one for wine? I tried googeling for one but could not find one. I only need windows for one thing now and that it to run a database for radio valves. I don't use it a lot so not worth the install of wine as a .pet or .sfs on a small hd. This would be an ideal way to run it.

Regards,

Ken.

Still curious, after googling. I can't find the philosophy of 'making portablelinuxapps'. I can't find it. And I can't make appimageassistant run on my lucid 520.
Is the same thing to 'folder application' like file-sharing? Any one give me explanation?

@Lobster:

the link you posted on 29 Jan 2011 (how to make portable apps)
now yields "not found".

[edit:] the portablelinuxapps site has a pdf available (under the
Information link on the first page) that describes the workings
of a portable app, and probably how to make them (I haven't
read all of it yet).
