Not having an external drive, I could not be sure, but I would imagine that 
you can install Wine and run the UT from the external drive - but I have not 
tried that.
The Loki installers are really designed for installing from a CD, so you won't 
need those unless you have the setup.exe and so on on the external drive.
I would have a nose around the winehq.org website (and also Franks Corner, 
which is linked from the winehq site). There may be further information there 
on how to do this.  I would imagine you can run the installed UT via wine, 
but the path may be a little complicated! You can certainly run programs 
installed on a Windows drive or partition via wine, so I would give it a try.
