Just tell them you need a pc with a cdrom.  Then boot knoppix
from a cd, where you may have your presentation as well. :-)
If you have time, you could even modify the knoppix installation
to boot straight into the presentation - no need to fuss around with
menus and such. :-)

And if their pc somehow won't boot your knoppix cd, then windows
will still be able to get the pdf off it.
