Hi :) Ahh, i like that one :) I have a tiny usb-stick (150Mb) with a full install of SliTaz on it and a couple of massive (8Gb) ones with Ubuntu. I carefully made it so that Grub installed to the MBR of the usb-stick instead of to sda but they kinda wanted to default to the usb-stick anyway so that was fairly easy :) I am trying to sort a LiveUsb stick with a large enough persistent file that i can install various things i need. It's a struggle because i don't want my boss to notice me setting it up on one of the idle machines at work.
Another route might be to have the portable apps version of LibreOffice for use on Windows machines and the 2 main installers for Gnu&Linux, ie the debs and the rpms. Then having the config folder on the usb-stick should hopefully mean that LibreOffice works the same whichever machine you use. The same config folder can be used for both Windows and Gnu&Linux apparently. ~/.libreoffice/3/user or something like that. The trick is trying to find your config folder and then find a way of changing the Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths to point at your config folder. Remember to switch it back when you are done if other people use LibreOffice on that machine! Is it possible to have 2 user profiles set in some way?

If the computer used does not have a built in external drive boot capability then use PLOP or SuperGrubDisk and boot either of these from the CDRom. nvsoar -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
