The Gnucash LiveCD

[Boyd Kelly]

Hi Elizabeth,

Vmware player might be useful here.  I haven't tried it yet, but it can
run a vmware image without acquiring a license.  So create a vmware
image using your bootable iso, (assuming *you* have vmware of course),
copy the whole thing to CD/DVD, and then your accountant should be able
to run it in a window without rebooting the pc.  This is also assuming
your accountant has enough memory to run this with acceptable
performance. You could also create a drive in the virtual machine to
store your data files etc.
