    <h3>How to setup your USB-Drive Gaim</h3>
    <ul>
    <li>Download and Install Gaim</li>
    - <li>Prepare your USB Drive: (This assumes that your drive is <code>U:</code> for the purpose of explanation)

    <ul>
    - <li>Create a directory: <code>U:\Programs</code> (This can be whatever you want, the idea is that (GTK and Gaim are at the same level)</li>
    + <li>Create a directory: <code>U:\Programs</code> (This can be whatever you want, the idea is that GTK and Gaim are at the same level)</li>
    <li>Create <code>GTK</code> and <code>Gaim</code> directories in this directory.
    </ul>
    </li>
    - <li>Copy a minimal part of your Gaim installation to the USB Drive from the installed instance of Gaim. The directory stucture stays the same, but we don't need everything that is included in the standard installation.

    <ul>
    <li>Copy the whole <code>pixmaps</code> and <code>sounds</code> directories.</li>
    <li>Create a <code>U:\Programs\Gaim\plugins</code> directory and copy the contents of the installed <code>Gaim\plugins</code> directory into it excluding <code>perl.dll</code>, <code>tcl.dll</code>.</li>
    <li>If you want to use a language other than en_US, create a <code>U:\Programs\Gaim\locale</code> directory and copy any language directories that you want from your installed <code>Gaim\locale</code> directory.</li>
    <li>Copy the contents of your root installed Gaim directory except <code>gaim.exe</code>, and if you don't want spellchecking support, <code>libgtkspell.dll</code>.</li>
    - <li>Download <a href="gaim-portable.exe">gaim-portable.exe</a> and put it in <code>U:\Programs\Gaim</code>. The file uses the same source as the standard <code>gaim.exe</code> from versions 2.0.0 and newer, the difference being that when it was compiled <code>PORTABLE</code> was defined which causes some of the initialization to be done differently.<li>

    <li>In the same spirit, create a minimal GTK+ runtime installation from your GTK+ installation.

    </ul>
    </li>
    - <li>You are done! Running <code>U:\Programs\Gaim\gaim-portable.exe</code> will cause gaim to run off the USB Drive, saving the settings, logs and etc. to <code>U:\Programs\.gaim</code>.<li>
