I guess the CD could be mounted on MacOS and Unix to be treated as a true drive but I am confident it would not work on Windows, knowing how every application has to embed itself with the registry and the system files, usually register DLLs and what not. But whatever happens, the CD should never be removed, or else if the server restarts, disaster would ensue. Why do you want to do that, by the way? -----Original Message----- From: John Hicks [mailto:johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 7:40 PM To: Jay Paulson Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; mysql@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Run Apache/PHP/MySQL from CD?
