Is it possible to run Apache, PHP and MySQL on my 512MB Thumb Drive ?
So that I can take my work to other PCs without copying files.
All PCs will be Windows 2000 or XP.
Thanks

Yes it is possible, if I remember correctly some one did it recently. I'll try and dig up the thread.

Knoppix is a lightweight Linux installation that does fit on a CD. Not sure exactly of the size, but it might just all fit on a memory stick.
Note: the site is in German, but they do have an English version.

Ah, there are some more distro's that fit on a usb memory stick
Unfortunately not all bioses support booting from the stick...
But with the win32 binaries.... You might want to add a .bat file that launches all the servers at once

O.o he wants to have apache run, not install an OS. Unless apache/php/mysql installs keys into the registry, he should be able to simply treat it as another hard drive and install it. And if it needed keys, he could, as timvw posted, write a batch file that ran a reg key file if the keys weren't already installed.
