[Xitami] xitami/php/mysql on thumbdrive

[Michael diLorenzo]

Here's what I'll do....I'm going away this weekend, but the beginning of  
next week I'll do a couple of web pages with instructions to set up your  
thumb drive, and I'll put them on....my thumb drive server, plug it in,  
and give you all the web address.    :-)  I used it for a lecture I did  
tonight, and it worked quite well.
