i think it would be awesome if someone made a distribution of litestep for the primary purpose of running it from a flash drive. i mean, there are Linux distributions that you can run from inside windows, on your pen drive, but they are slow, and it is unnecessary to have the entire Linux system. all you need to "bring your desktop with you" is a shell. you could use this to keep all the same settings on whatever computer you went to, quickly and easily.
HMMM...
now all i need is some people to help me with this...
the LS folder is about 20MB when first installed, although this obviously increases when you install themes and modules. it would be very nice if the entire "portable" package was under 30 MB, or even under 40MB. i am not very experienced with litestep, so i don't know how much work it would take to make an entierly "portable" version, but given that is works already, i would guess it wouldn't take that much work. ideally, the my docs folder is on the memory stick, as well as some important system areas, such as the "application data" folder in win XP.
what do you think? could it work?
