Is R portable?
Well, yesterday I put a linux version of R 2.6.0 in a USB stick of 2Gb and it runs very well...

I simply installed R onto a USB stick, downloaded my normal packages to it and it works fine under Windows. --- Roland Rau <roland.rproject at gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Tom, did you check the R for Windows FAQ?

Recently I came across an interesting web site: http://portableapps.com/. The idea is simple,
this is software that
is possible to install and run on some type of USB
memory, a stick or
one of these hard disks. I can think of a number
of situations where
this could be handy. In addition memory sticks
are getting cheaper
and more powerful by the day. So: Is it possible to run R off one of these
sticks?
I am also informed that it is possible to run
Latex in this manner.
