Freeware for my flash drive. TIA

[roadster3043]

Greetings.

I recently bought a Sandisk 2GB Flash Drive, and I've been looking over
the net for software recommendations preferably Freeware and as small
as possible for my flash drive, but the results so far make it more

difficult to decide.

I was wondering what would you recommend me that you have used or are
using, so far without problems on your flash drive that is completely
freeware?

I'm looking for the following and as small as possible(DOS and Windows
based):

Web Browser. So far I'm thinking Portable Firefox, but I need
something IE based too.

Email Client. So far I'm thinking Portable Thunderbird.

News Reader. XNews?

Chat Client. MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, Jabber and you name it, compatible.

Multimedia Player. Something that can play almost anything in video
and audio formats.

Antivirus

Spyware and other nasties remover

Text Editor

Word Processor. I was thinking on using Open Office, but I only need a
good word processor compatible with M$ Word.

CD Ripper. Something that can be used with LAME to make MP3s.

Games. Something like bejeweled and shooters like 1943(don't remember
well the name of the plane game), r-type like and such.

Zip and Rar. Compressors and decompressors.

P2P

Torrent

CD DVD ISO Audio Burner

Image/Picture Editor. Red eye remover, gamma correction, color
correction and such.

iPod Software

Windows cleaners, tweakers, optimizers, etc.

File and data recovery. Restoration?

Disk Imaging

Partition Manager. With FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and Linux support.

Anything else you like to recommend or that I might forgotten at the
moment?


Thank you.

I got all my USB freeware from these two sites:
http://users.pandora.be/Robvdb/USBMemStick.htm
this one is great for making a USB Portable office, all with freeware.
This is my template for all my freeware.

http://www.portablefreeware.com/all.php
all portable freeware with great descriptions as to what is written in
the registry, most programs use ini files in the same directory where
the program resides. Andrew, the guy who maintains the site is nice
too. He helped me find a program I was looking for, TomahawkPDF.

Good luck.
