Desktops on the move
,----[ Quote ]
| A slightly more expensive but less limited way of creating a portable desktop
| is by going with Mandriva, a version of Linux, installed on a 4GB flash drive
| made by Dane-Elec called the Zmate Pen. This is a full-featured operating
| system that fits into 1 GB of space, leaving the remaining 3GB in the thumb
| drive for extra applications or files.

Portable Qemu Persistent Ubuntu Linux

| One advantage to using Qemu hardware emulation as opposed to a
| native USB boot is that it allows you to plug your USB stick or
| portable hard drive into any available PC and run a complete
| operating system without restarting. The additional advantage
| of using Ubuntu's persistent feature is that you can save your
| personal settings, files and changes back to the stick. Qemu and
| persistent Ubuntu make for a nice and simple combination.

| and dug up some info on making CS2 portable, and followed
| the steps here (on a Windows XP install of course). I
| tested it out on Windows, worked like a charm.
