Hi Michael,
I would like to get a step by step instruction, although I am not using a thumb drive now.
But one never know for a handy tool like this. One can " just "walk around" with the
webserver and can show the projects which one need.
As I have not yet installed mysql on my "normal" server, if there are some detailed
instruction in there as well, I would be happy.
Thank's already upfront for taking the time and making this available.
