I've been considering this as I'm running out of space on my laptop due to my library is outgrowing storage capacity and I have purchased a backup laptop to carry in my car in case my primary goes down.

It would be nice to have Hoster and Kma's on the external so the downtime would be minimal.

Is this possible? If it is, what would the proceedure be for getting it installed and setup to work?

You could certainly (and should) have your KMA's backed up on an external, most folks using laptops use the external drive for there KMA's. However Hoster (as does most software) installs and accesses files from the Windows folder, and besides Hoster would quickly realize it's not on the computer it was initially installed on and refuse to work.
