Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, Is it possible to install Libre Office on an external hard drive ? The computer will have either Windows Operating System or Linux Operating System. Thank you.
If you really want to be prepared for Linux desktops with neither OOo nor LibreOffice and for Windows desktops as well, then you should divide your disk in 2 partitions with one file system for WIndows and another file system for Linux, install http://portableapps.com/de/apps/office/libreoffice_portable on the Windows file system and copy the LibreOffice folder from your Linux installation to the Linux file system. Adjust bootstraprc according to Regina's suggestion and make sure that the user profile is world writable. For the program files read-access is sufficient. Not sure if and how both programs may even share the same user profile. Once upon a time I managed to do this with Thunderbird 1.x. Anyway, with such a disk the respective operating system can mount the respective file system and launch your own copy of LibreOffice if the host system allows for execution from plugged block devices.
