Hi Tony Thanks for answering - and thank you for th link to the tarballs. I have downloaded tiddlyweb-0.9.32.tar.gz and unpacked it to my usbdrive (7zip) I haven't got any idea how to use python or the install tools. I've looked for easy install to use it with portable python, - but all instructions regarding download and implementation are for linux commands or "people who know their way around with cmd"... - I'm lost..
As told earlier I have installed portable python on the usb stick (2.6.1) - but (maybe because I found it first) I also have Python 2.6 as a Windows local install on the pc. The local install has a "nicelooking" commandprompt called: Idle (Python Gui) and the usb installation has a normal "black" prompt - I recon it doesn't matter which one I use?! I've opened the Python command prompt and I believe that I 'somehow' have to "cd" to the location where twanager is located . and then ... I'm sorry if my questions show how completely lost and (maybe) ignorant I am on this field - Maybe I should just be advised not to try TiddlyWeb untill I have learned some Python and make a proper Linux server install?! However, I would really like to be able to find out what TiddlyWeb is all about - and maybe be able to pickup on some of the possibilities the use of tiddlers in bags and recipies has... So please give me some very basic hints - or point me in a new direction.
