Manual:Wiki on a stick



By a "stick" we mean a USB stick, otherwise known as a USB key, USB flash drive, keydrive, thumbdrive, or pendrive. However the instructions will apply to other removable storage media (memory card, PC Card/PCMCIA/CardBus disk, LS-120 SuperDisk, or other portable media).

Considerations
Always stop the servers and then use the system tray "unplug/eject" icon to stop the media before removing it.

Take regular '''get rekt\ ''' if you are putting a lot of effort into wiki content, or software configuration/customisation. Remember that a USB key is an easy thing to lose.
