Networking is intentionally disabled and saving data to mounted volumes is not allowed.

I don't get it. How are you going to have any persistent data to work with, or has the term "mounted volume" been abused?

I am assuming you can read data...from a mounted data.

But I am not sure how this OS is useful...guess I need to do more reading and some playing.

My thought was it would be useful for browsing and working with a cloud setup ...like FR.

Hmmm....they say no network...

And maybe this answers your question:

Extended TC-Volumes

**************************************EXCERPT***********************************

"Extended TC-Volumes" mean no interference or modification of the function of TrueCrypt or its container format. It solely means some additional scripts are being executed on opening and closing of such containers, like setting symlinks from your (volatile) home directory to the mounted Volume. The "extended TC-Volume" itself is just a normal TrueCrypt container, formatted with the ext3 file system instead of FAT (this means it can only be used under Windows by installing an ext3 filesystem driver).

OK,...downloaded,...burned the iso...booted it ...initial splash is German text 2nd line is verify and run...did so..

Has a nice collection of apps, GIMP, Open Office, and a project manager app,...much german text...on all....

Did notice my HDD but wouldn't bring any info up ...said wrong format....may need to be True Crypt??

Didn't see Firefox or recognize any browser app.

Very interesting.
