All the launcher does is download the game. If you copy the .techniclauncher folder onto the USB, you can just run form the jar, but I recommend taking the launcher.exe as well.
You have to use a permissions plugin. The one that comes with Tekkit is called Commandbook, though personally I prefer PermissionsEx. Avoid using more than one at once.

Go into the folder for your game, go into config, and find mod_treecapitator.cfg. Open that in notepad, and find the line dropLeaves=false, and make it dropLeaves=true.
I think he means just to have extra slots for custom ones, with custom mods, not wanting to edit one of the existing ones. Maybe for a server that uses a different set of mods, or something like that.

No money, at all. The ads are part of SMF, I believe, the forum software, and the money doesn't go to Kaker. The site is actually run at a net loss (of quite a bit, the hosting is pretty expensive). Be grateful~.
... You need 1.1.4, to connect to a 1.1.4 server. 1.1.4 is not on the launcher, because it came before the launcher. So you need to install 1.1.4, the normal way you used to install, before the launcher.
1+1=2
So it's our fault that you did something wrong? We should have glimpsed into the future, and gone "Oh no, Mordrake will install the wrong version of Java! WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE SAVE HIM."
