StevoB,

I too am not very experienced in Linux and am after same type of info. I have posted similar with no replies as yet.

I wish to run Apache2 and PHP (MySQL would be a bonus) straight off the V5.0.1 CD with a persistant USB drive. This is to run some web apps for demo. ( A cunning scheme to sway some MS junkie admins toward the light of Linux).

I have found that Apache2 requires a different setup to previous version Apache with a directory structure indicating modules and sites available. I plan to have the server root on the USB drive and load the apache.conf from there. This will allow me to change the web pages at will without having to remaster for each change.

Am I dreaming or just missing a vital step ??

I hope this helps or attracts some attention and answers. I honestly think this is one of the biggest breakthroughs I have sen in computing for YEARS.....I'm hooked
