Just to make it clear:
I don't know how MandrakeMove sets things up, but in a normal
installation, you would have a /home directory, under which
each user would have his or her own directory, i.e. /home/al
If your friend fred uses your computer, he would have a directory
/home/fred.
Each user space would have its own set of preference files, starting
with .bash_profile, and including other preferences (usually hidden)
to control things like themes, browser and e-mail preferences, etc.

Since you are booting from the CD, I guess c_one is the drive
where Windows resides. You should be able to browse that and
tell by the file names.
If it is, then yes, you could create a new folder and store euphoria
there. You would have to change the PATH and EUDIR (in .bash_profile)
to reflect the new location.

See above. Chances are you could actually put your HOME directory
on the jump drive, but not having one, I can't give specific instructions.
Under the start menu: system/configuration/other/user administration,
you can add a new user, and select the location for his home directory.
If you choose the jump drive, that might work.
