And to ask a really silly question:
If we'd managed to remaster with open office, and used a CD-RW instead of CR-R, could we also then use the remastered CD to do some work offsite with a few Microsoft office files (yes, many people do use them, sadly) on our own laptop, save the docs in word and excel format on a directory on the CD-RW, let colleagues copy the files if necessary from the CD-RW at the end of the day, and then bring back the remastered CD-RW with the extra wrd/xls files and dump them on the main desktop machine?
In other words, could a remastered DSL on CD-RW become a portable and dynamic workspace? (Recognising, of course, you'd periodically run out of space on a CD-RW, but you'd just start another one.)
DSL could be very good for this because it leaves so much spare space on a full size CD. Also, works for machines that can't boot from USB etc.
Essentially, would the script work with CD-RW, and if CD-RW is used, can a rw directory be mounted on it?
