[Xitami] Xitami on a Thumb Drive

[Francis Turner]

The trick is to jigger the USB drive so that it supports "autorun.inf"
- see http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/usbfaq.mspx

Burning a CDrom copy of your website including Xitami and putting an
appropriate AUTORUN file on the Cd is pretty trivial and I have done
so following the instructions below (more or less)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_basics/shell_basics_extending/autorun/autoplay_works.asp?frame=true

It might be possible under XP to get the autorun to work on a USB
drive by adding a section to [DeviceInstall] but I'm not sure - I
guess the answer is to try it and see.
