Portable Ubuntu

[Claudio Cesar Sánchez Tejeda]

Martin, 

Hi, how are you?

Sorry for the delay.

The source code is in the same installer... Je! You can view what files
are modified in the image of Portable Ubuntu (rootfs.img is a ext3
partition). Also you can view the .bat files. I don't have anything
compiled, I used owner bash and python script that are
in /usr/local/bin.

Let me know if you need anything from me or some info about Portable
Ubuntu. Anyway, I'm working in Coubuntu. This project allow to users
install Ubuntu in Windows without restart and permit use it in Windows
(like as Portable Ubuntu) and standalone. I think that in two months I
could finish the first release.

Regards!
