BZFlag for jump drives?

Is it possible to put BZFlag on a jump drive for use on different computers? If not, can I find (or make) a mod that allows one to do this?

Here's a thread about that:

My son installed BZFlag onto a 2Gb jumpdrive. It works fine. He just pointed the installer at his jumpdrive. He's using Windows XP.

Note that it wouldn't be completely portable. It'll leave tracks in the My Documents folder.

Only if you don't tell it not to...

How do you do that? I used PStart to specify BZFlag to use the profile on my flash drive. It's the only program that I can find that will actually change the drive path on-the-fly and accept command lines.

and in that thread, this was said:

or you can build from the CVS...

I knew that... It's the exact same thing I did with PStart. Shortcuts don't work as well. Too much confusion.
