I have the 2.0.0 loaded on a CD and it works. To quote from the site: Portable OpenOffice.org allows you to carry an entire office suite -- word processing, spreadsheet, presentations, drawing, etc. -- with you on an iPod, USB thumbdrive, portable hard drive or any other portable media. You can plug it right into any Windows computer and use it just like you would on your own. I assume it only works with Windows because John has only adapted the Windows version to be portable. I am not sure of my terminology here but I believe a Live CD means a bootable one, that is , one that you can use to replace the operating system on the computer. See for example the BeatrIX live CD linux package at http://www.watsky.net/. This CD allows you to run Linux from the CD even if you have Windows on the harddrive. I stuck it in a CD drive on a friend's machine who was having a problem with Windows and we were able to access the net(Foxfire in included on the CD and load OOo 1.1.0 which is also included. ----- John Kane Kingston ON Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613)888-2399 -- http://www.fastmail.fm - And now for something completely differentÂ…
