Yes, this is exactly what I want - whole J development system loaded in my 2GB usb drive, and nothing to be installed on computer's harddisk. Run it everywhere on other computers so that I do not need to buy or carry a notebook computer.

You could define a shortcut on your jump drive to then load J, assuming that
the J directory is loaded in the same place on all machines. However, jump
drives are getting so big now that you could put the J system on it too
allowing you to easily run J on machines which do not have J on them.

various files under j601/user/config such as that shown below. Will it be
possible to make them relative to paths inside SYSTEMFOLDERS_j_ and
USERFOLDERS_j_ ? so that it becomes
