If you have it working on a ZIP disk, then a Thumb/Pen drive wouldn't be
much different. Couldn't you have the bathfile even modify the
httpd.conf file for you? That way you'd have even less to do.
This would have to be on windows, I'm not sure that the Thumb/Pen drives
work on *nix systems, just Mac and Windows from the literature I've
read.
