Some of these CD distributions have a method where you can copy the
CD onto the hard drive and run from there.  That's about your only
option right now I think, unless your home directory is in
read/write memory or disk, in which case you can modify the
~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf file so that you can point it to
wherever  you like.  There are several paths to directories and
files listed in that config file.  Just grep for "share" and you
should find them.  I think they're all grouped together.
