You could always do a direct install to a USB stick and
do a dnf (yum) to install the http server. That way,
it won't be volatile, like a live DVD.
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.
Ron
