LAMP on USB?

[ornothaloapq]

Does a ubuntu live USB drive contain the apache and mysql and other Internet type programs?

[v1ad]

no, not unless it is a Ubuntu Server cd.

Could that be put onto a USB and then booted from?

[v1ad]

yes it can,

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download

remember to get the one u need, 32 bit or 64.

also i just remembered that Ubuntu Server does not boot live.

you would need to add them manually to a Ubuntu image.... unless you install the server to the usb. and remember it will be in CLI mode.

if u want a desktop install ubuntu onto a usb. and then boot into it and install lamp and whatever else you need.

I thought you couldnt add programs to a live session even with persistence.

[v1ad]

not live. if u format the usb as ext4 and actually use it as a drive and install Ubuntu onto it. with only the ext partition and set it as the mount point /
