linkd, if it's available, appears to require the same permissions as
actually creating the c:\aspell directory, so putting it on the flash
drive might indeed be simpler. It also has the advantage that the
c:\aspell virtual path will go away when the machine is rebooted or when
explicitly deleted with linkd, so there's no permanent change to the
target system.
Libraries in the US are often equipped with computers having
internet access. One logs on with their library card number.
Though I'm sure there are situations where the restrictions
are more stict, I'm thinking of this as representative, and
one can download files from the internet. When a user logs off
the computer is restored to its original state so any changes
are erased. It works that way at the local university also
which was the setting for the OP. That doesn't include all
venues of portability and may not be a widespread practice.
I agree, nothing ventured, nothing gained,
