I've just managed to make a knoppix dvd iso that holds the entire current database of wikipedia. mediawiki is on there , of course (had to comment out any lines that updated , deleted or inserted any thing , due to the R/o status of the disk) , along with apache and mysql starting on boot to handle requests. And it all works fine straight from boot. Realistically Needs about 512M ram to work well , due to the 300M wikipedia DB index file.

the iso is about 2.6G , so there's enough room for more stuff on there , I'm just not sure what yet. More wikipedia language entries , photos, some of the other wiki databases.

anyone got any ideas what I should do with it?
