The easiest way is to keep your archive on a usb key fob, like I do.
Then, regardless of which machine you use, your archive is available.

This is even more appealing if you use something like autofs to
automatically mount the archive on demand. 

Another alternative is to keep your archive in a publically addressable
place, and use it remotely. Of course, this goes against disconnected
operation, so I'll stop here...

There's one other option: If you get
address@hidden/bazaar-docs--initial--1.1, there is, in the
old/ directory, a file called "TravelingOftenWithArch.rst". That
explains in painful detail how to use one logical archive with
disconnected sources. One word of caution: This is a easy to screw up
maneuver.

Good luck.
