Sorry for the misunderstanding : I was talking about the answer :
Here is an updated Q/A for the knowledge base :
## Q. I want to use Scid from a read-only drive : can I run Scid from (say)
a CD ?
A. Yes, you can start Scid from any external media, including a CD, since a
Scid installation does not rely on anything from the system itself. This
kind of installation restricts you to the settings prior burning, as the
file that saves the options can't be placed anywhere else than in the Scid
file hierarchy. Bear in mind that saving multiple options settings might
helps tackle this restriction: see [...].
This kind of installation might be useful when in public access terminal,
like an exposition or a library, without USB access; burning Scid along the
archives of the databases might also help those who tend to forget or lose
USB keys. In any other case, for ordinary work, 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.
NB. The training bases that come with Scid (e.g. tactics) need to be
writable. You should remove them prior to burning or risk encountering an
error when using them.

As Pascal likes to say : fixed ;-)
