Here is a possible way to answer this question :
## Q. Can I run Scid from a CD ?
A. Of course. A Scid installation should not rely on anything from the
system itself. So you can start Scid from an external media.
But please bear in mind that a CD is can't be overwritten easily. That
means that you are obliged to stick with the settings you have when you burn
your CD. The file that saves the options can't be placed anywhere else than
in the Scid file hierarchy. (If you would wish to, please contact us to
describe a user case where it might be needed : see [mailing list]. We do
not see any reason to modify Scid for that triffle.)
Since it is now possible to save multiple options settings (see [...]), it
might prove not to be a drag. In any case, we suggest that you install Scid
on a USB key instead. It works perfectly well from a USB key and you can
modify it along you work.

This would be a rough draft. It should be a part of a future FAQ.
Depending on how the FAQ will be developed, we'll see how to divide the
questions.
