Hello Reenen,<br>
<br>
Yes, it's possible to have Lazarus run from a flash drive - I did that<br>
for quite some time. Simply install to a folder on your flash drive<br>
instead the harddrive.<br>
<br>
There's just two things you have to take care of, both of which pretty<br>
easy to do with a little batch file (or FreePascal app ;-) - you need to<br>
have the PATH environment setting pointing to your FPC folder and<br>
Lazarus needs to know a few additional folders. That means, if your<br>
flash drive is "E:\" on one PC, it might be "G:\" on another.<br>
<br>
As for 2 binaries, you ought to be able to do the same on a single FAT<br>
partition (just two seperate folders, as most Linux distros will chew on<br>
FAT fine.. No pun intended...), or go a bit fancier and partition your<br>
flash drive...<br>
<br>
Just a quick note though: do get a decent flash drive. You'd think a<br>
flash drive is faster than a HD, but that's not always the case<br>
(especially the ones that are large and cheap... There's a reason<br>
they're cheap).<br>
