Portable Firefox is an installation of Firefox that can be completely

used (without having to install it on the local machine). I would
assume that Portable Ethereal is the same thing. It's an interesting idea.

That's the third meaning in my list, with "USB drive" replacing "CD-ROM"; I'd forgotten about USB drives (for which there's no excuse, given that I'm thinking about using USB drives as a replacement for Zip drives for my Quicken backups, and had been thinking of some other USB drive applications as well).

Unfortunately, "portable" is becoming even more of an overloaded term than it already was. :-)
