Hello list, A short time ago, I found http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/portable_apps_suite/, which contains basically a complete set of office tools that can be run *entirely* from a USB key. The concept is: - find a Windows PC - put in your USB key - run OpenOffice, Firefox, Gaim, Nvu, Thunderbird, ... directly from your USB key, with no app installation required - save your files wherever - remove your USB key and leave, with nothing installed on the original PC
As a consultant who battles regularly with limited toolsets at customer sites, this strikes me as an extremely handy way of working. Has anyone managed to setup a base R configuration that runs entirely from USB key? Being a regular user, but no expert, with R, it'd be very helpful for me if such a mechanism existed, but I've got no idea where to begin in building such a thing. Thanks in advance for any responses or suggestions Dave M. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
