Portable Applications
Remember that if you want to get Kompozer, Gimp, or Audacity for portable use over the break, you can get the portable application from the network drives in Eddy 300, 2, and 4 today. These rooms will be closed over the break, so you must do this today if you want any of these programs on a CD or USB flash drive.
Go to one of these rooms, click “My Computer” and then on the network drive, and then on the folder “Portable Apps.” Drag the Audacity, Kompozer, or Gimp folder to your disk or USB flash drive. You can then run the program from your disk or USB drive on any computer without needing to put the program on the computer itself. This will be helpful if you will be using someone else’s computer over break and do not want to install software on it.

Everytime that I try to drag or copy the kompozer portable it says windows is having trouble copying the file and will not let me download it to a disk, what should I do???

Hi Katie,
I got your comment to the blog. I’m not sure what the problem is, but I have the portable apps on a disk that should be in my office. Ask at the English office if someone could look for it so you can borrow it to copy the files. It’s a silver disk in a white paper sleeve. The disk is labeled “portable apps.” After you’re done with the disk, you can just have someone from the office put it in my mailbox.
Also, see if Jill Salahub in her office (she’s on the same hall as me). She might be able to help you with the network drive problem.
If Jill’s not around, comment or e-mail again. I can stop by my office at about 2:45 to try and help.
Carrie
