Lotus Notes 8 and NOMAD installation09/28/2007 09:11 PM

Can Notes 8 be installed from a USB device?

IBM Lotus Notes Client 8.0 basic configuration Windows XP and Vista English(C13NAEN),
Download here.

I used: setup /a /v"NOMAD=1 TARGETDIR=H:\ /qb+"

Information:
Is the "Notes on a Stick" feature of Lotus Notes® 7.0.2 client available also in Lotus Notes 8.0 client?

Installation of Lotus Notes 8 from a USB device drive is not currently supported in Notes 8 (Standard Configuration) and this feature is being considered for future Notes 8 releases.This feature is available for Lotus Notes 8 (Basic Configuration).

Note: Notes 8 (Basic Configuration) does not contain many of the new features available in Notes 8 (Standard Configuration). For more information on the differences between the two configurations refer to the technote, "What's new in Lotus Notes 8 client?" (#1264877).

Two Configurations:
Lotus Notes 8 client is a single install, and it has two different configurations it can run in: Notes 8 (Standard Configuration) and Notes 8 (Basic Configuration).

Notes 8 (Standard Configuration),is a culmination of new goals, and new technologies to support those goals; it makes use of the Java-based Eclipse technology to enhance existing Notes functionality (mail, calendar, contacts, etc.) and provide new features such as sidebars, etc. Eclipse architecture allows the integration of other applications, such as Productivity Tools and Composite Applications, into Notes.

Notes 8 (Basic Configuration), is very similar in experience to the Notes 7 client. It is available for cases in which the client machine's memory is too low to run the standard configuration. As in previous releases of Notes, clients running the basic configuration can access only applications that reside on Domino servers, and can use only the 3.x implementation of embedded Sametime Contacts.

To launch Notes 8 (Basic Configuration), create a shortcut on your desktop to point to nlnotes.exe in the Notes program directory.
Or, simply launch nlnotes.exe

Supporting Information:
For more information on the "Notes on a Stick" feature refer to the following web site.

Note: "Lotus Notes on a Stick is a feature of IBM Lotus Notes V7.0.2 and later that allows you to download your Lotus Notes client, including data, applications, mail, and more, to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device (also known as a memory stick) that you can then plug into any Microsoft Windows workstation with a USB port."

I used the USB SanDisk Cruzer® Micro 4GB U3 (SDCZ6-4096) and added some apps and also used URL: http://u3applications.blogharbor.com
Also see the U3 Newbie Guide link. http://www.everythingusb.com/u3.html and the PackageFactory for U3
