I finally got xitame, php, and mysql to run on a thumb drive.  No
"installation" of any files onto the host computer needed.  Just plug it
in, run a batch file to start the programs, and start browsing.

It seems most of the trick was to make sure that all .ini files use
relative addressing, so that everything works regardless of what drive
letter your computer assigns to the thumb drive.  Because of this, the
directory structure of the thumb drive cannot be changed, although
anything under xitami/webpages/ is up to you.

I use it to demonstrate my php/mysql pages on localhost, but I'm sure the
computer will listen and respond on whatever addresses you put in
xitami.cfg.  The total size of the install is about 50 meg plus whatever
size your database is, plus whatever session variables you might have
running.  Logging of the web server is turned off.  Security is not a big
concern for my purposes.

If anyone would like a step-by-step, copies of the .ini files, etc. feel
free to ask.  It might be a week or two before I can get back to you,
since I now have to take this package to a few spots around the country
and demonstrate my pages.

If this has already been done, I apologize for taking up your time!

Michael
