I want to create a CD with the various documentation thereon (including Adobe to read) and OOo 2. However, I have not been able to obtain a conscenses of whether OOo will run from the CD if not installed on the main (C:\ registries etc). I would like to create this CD to donate to the local library so that others may try it out without installing. I am also purchasing a new "Getting Started ... " book to donate to the library.
