Re: Small LAMP install/distro

Thanks again for the info, Jim. will look into the 'install to flash drive' information. Technically that's not what I'm doing, just want to store the virtual machine on the flash drive, but the installation instructions should be tight enough to be pertinent still. I think you got close enough understanding to what I'm trying to do. :) = = = Original message = = = I have never tried setting up an install without one. I'm sure that it can be used without one though, you might just be limited on what you can do with it. But what it sounds like you are wanting to do with it, it won't matter. If you are running this through VM Ware, you will allot it a given amount of hard drive space. To the installer, that will look like one large hard drive, that you can partition and allocate to your hearts desire. Meaning, that you should be able to have a swap file or not. Just a matter of creating the partition for it or not. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what your intentions are??? If so, please explain further. -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
