OpenOffice live

Hm, that's cool.

You could start your own "live opencd" project, with "live OOo/gaim/firefox" etc. on it. You could try opera too, but you'd need to get permission from them to redistribute it.

In school I have FF installed in my network folder and I can run it on all the computers. So, for just a few MB, you could copy the directory FF is installed to onto the CD. You could get some extensions and stuff in it too...

GAIM I also have installed on my folder on the network in school, but I have to set the library search path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH?) on each computer so it can find the GTK+/etc. libraries.

Programs after installation are usually bigger than the install files, so you mightn't get too much on them.

It appears to be mostly aimed at Windows users:

I would aim OOo live at Windows users too, as they're far less likly to be aware of it.

Well yes:

It would be cool if you could get all the programs from the opencd to run from a CD. Might need to be a dvd though. Most computers running this software will have DVD-drives anyhow.

Cool ... I want a bootable OpenOffice CD ... how do you do it ? Well I suppose there may be problems doing something with the stuff you produce ... how do you print if you're booted into OpenOffice ?

Aloone_Jonez:
What do you mean by bootable?

For that you'd need to add an OS, Linux would do, just a basic kernel, X and TWM.

Or do you mean one that loads on top of an OS like Windows?

That's exactly what I've created, just add autorun.inf and thre you go.
