Hey;
I'm headed on a 5-week vacation next month, and downloaded Mandrake
Move this weekend to see what it'd do for me. I think it's coolio, and
I have a little 64MB USB pendrive, that it mounts automatically
under /mnt/windows of all things (I guess 'cause of the FAT
filesystem).
The description from the Mandrake website said something about the
commercial edition of Move automatically using your configuration and
files to a USB key. When it says 'configuration', does that mean that
it will save... say... the way I have my KDE 3.2 desktop themed and all
that to the pendrive, so that when I start up Mandrake Move on another
computer later in my trip I'll still have the same setup that I
configured to start with?
If that's the case, then I'd consider purchasing Move (My first OS
purchase in a while... Me be spoiled Linux-Downloader) ... but if not,
then I'd just use it as a toy to test out systems with or show people
Linux, rather than as a mobile guest computer.
Thanx!

PS: Please CC me any reply
Yes it does.
But before you purchase MandrakeMove why not try out PCLOS first.
It is a fork of Mandrake. It works as a 'liveCD' like Mandrake Move, with the
additional option of being able to install itself to your hard drive. It
comes with Nvidia drivers/Flash/Java built in, and is able to store
your /home files on a USB flash drive.
PCLOS is available as a free download at

See the FAQ for booting with USB key.
