Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: any word about 4.0.4 portable coming out?

Hi :)
I had no idea there were different organisations doing the same thing.  I don't know which is best 
but i think 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/

is worth looking into.  

Unfortunately i am lucky enough to be able to boot into Gnu&Linux almost everywhere i go now.  
There is a place i am not supposed to be able to and they have quite harsh sounding warning notices 
about not messing around but i 'accidentally' had my usb-stick in the machine and it went straight 
into the LiveCd/Usb version of Ubuntu.  It was very slow though, as it's an old usb stick.  So it 
might be worth experimenting with.  

Thanks and regards from 
Tom :)
