Can I redirect the cache and other folders to a hosting site?

First of all, I love, love, LOVE LivePC. Insanely innovative!
I've been testing out your service for about 3 weeks now and can't seem to grasp something. I notice that the "virtual disk file" and other files are cached (?) or stored on my computers hard drive. I can find these folders in two different areas on my computer. So, essentially, if I have a live pc that has 2gb of info it, it's stored on my computer a 4gb. I hope that makes sense.
Anyways, my main goal is to have no record of my livepcs on my computer and have them take up zero space on my hard drive, so can I redirect the cache and other folders to a hosting site? If so, where do I make this change? If not, is there another solution?
Hi, Thanks for the kind
Hi,
Thanks for the kind words. You can always install moka5 LivePC Engine on a removable USB drive or an iPod. That way you can take it wherever you go and you won't leave anything on the computer's hard drive. USB drives are getting so cheap nowadays, you can pick up a 4GB one for less than $40.
The cache is for bits you have downloaded. For example, when you download a public LivePC like Fearless Browser, it gets stored in the cache. Any changes you make to a LivePC are stored in a virtual disk. For example, your settings, web history, any files you have downloaded, etc. are stored in a .cdsk file. If you have a LivePC that you put 2GB of data into, that 2GB of data will be in the virtual disk but not the cache. Hope that makes sense.
