Do you want a separate (VMed) OS on the memory stick with freenet on it, or just freenet that starts and runs off the memory stick without accessing anything else? You can do both probably, but i can't help you with the former, the latter be done, but you will probably need to change the file system to something that keeps the file attributes on unix-like operating systems, just to make the job easier. You will not want the installer to be messing with your system, you will want to cd to wherever you want to put the freenet on the USB stick and run the following: wget http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/freenet07.tar.gz cat freenet07.tar.gz | gzip -d | tar xv cd freenet ./run.sh start After that you might want to go to the config page of the node and change: "Directories downloading is allowed to" setting if you really do not want the node to touch *anything* outside of usb stick. Change it to wherever the usb stick is mounted to and the subdirectories on it. - Volodya -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast http://eng.anarchopedia.org/ Anarchopedia, A Free Knowledge Portal http://freenetproject.org/ The Free Network project "None of us are free until all of us are free." ~ Mihail Bakunin
