I have a desktop running Xp SP2 and a laptop running Vista Home Premium. I want to run Xampp on an external USB hard drive. The drive will appear as F drive on both computers. This makes me believe that I should use a top level folder ie F:/Xampp on the USB drive. Is the window installer version the appropriate package to use? The whole purpose of all this is to have a local installation of my website (TNG) run from my laptop browser when I am unable to connect to the Internet.

thanks for this two great articles! i have one question about it. what can i delete when i use xampplite and ampstart. because i think i do not need some files which are standard in xampplite folder. for example xampp-control and so on. would be nice if you could tell, so that i can clean up the xampplite folder and optimize it.
