Yes.

I don't know. I use the variable $ORIGIN which points to the place where 
the bootstap.ini file itself is. Completely
for user directory inside the same folder as the installation
UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/..

or for user directory as neighbor to installation.
UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../..

Both makes sense for an installation on an external device.

But to make it clear, I have shown methods
(1) Use an already installed soffice.exe and change the call to use your 
personal user directory which is on your external device. -> use 
parameter -env:Installation=
Addition: Pathes have to be written in special notation for example 
-env:UserInstallation=file:///e:/myLO/LOuser

(2) Use an administrative installation on your external device -> change 
bootstrap.ini

Kind regards
Regina
