Hi Jacinta,

Did you read the other emails about this subject or only this one first?

Thanks for the link, but its not what we were looking for. This requires
erasing whats on the hard disk, that not what we wanted!

What LAMPPIX does http://lamppix.tinowagner.com/, is have the various files
on a CD, boot Knoppix. Load all the database files off the CD, and serve up
the PHP/MySQL files in memory.

Ie. zero installation, but a functioning webserver and database to demo a
system. Very impressive :)

Regards,
Gareth

P.S. found out that LAMPPIX-mini was the version that has only the browser.
THats what I should have being using from the start. :P (full lamppix isn't
designed to run off a cd but to be installed to a hard disk because of its
larger memory usage).
