Is there an http(s) server on the live spin?

Todd, that's interesting.  I don't quite follow.

What do you mean by a 'direct install' to a USB stick?  Do you mean 
install Fedora, but onto a USB stick instead of onto a hard drive 
/dev/sda1 or whatever?  And then, presumably, boot from USB as needed.

Would such an 'installation' then also run on a completely different 
laptop, with different network card, graphics, etc?

I wondered whether you meant put the iso on a USB stick and use that 
instead of a DVD but still run the USB stick as a 'live' sort of 
system.  In this latter case, then the stick could be run in a variety 
of laptops/desktops, in the same way that a live CD can be run, 
because it loads the appropriate drivers etc for whatever hardware it 
finds.

If you meant a full install but onto a USB stick instead of onto a 
hard drive, then I guess installing an http server onto that USB 
installation is just like installing it onto a normal hard drive, and 
once installed it's always there (of course).

It's certainly a thought.  Thanks.
