I did something like this to have Emacs, cygwin, etc. on a USB memory stick. It took a lot of messing about with relative paths in config files to get the drive independence needed to be able to move the memory stick between machines, but it was doable.
No need to touch the registry or other machine settings. I can simply plug it into a new machine and run the Emacs shortcut in the root folder - I suppose I could even have added an autoplay to bring Emacs up automatically. Someone with more experience of these things would probably have an easier time of it. That still leaves the 'problem' that I don't have file associations when I plug the memory stick in to a new machine, so everything at Windows level is drag-and-drop rather than double-click... >From: David Vanderschel >Sent: 05 May 2005 14:22 [snip] >Now if only someone could make a "live CD" for emacs >that would run under Windows.
