UsbTiki

Tiki could run from a USB memory stick, even if there is not internet connection on the computer.

Use cases:

• teach how to use or administer a Tiki site without the fear to have your server or common Multitiki install broken with your students attemps to do it!
• your personal portfolio recorder (or your students')
• demo on places without internet access (built in TikiMovies, your own information, ...)
• ...

Implementations

TikiLiveCD to UsbTiki

One implementation is through making TikiLiveCD to be installed on a USB, with the built in programs inside the TikiLiveCD (either from it's own Slax Linux OS or from a Window$ box).

For older computer which can't boot from a usb unit, there is a companion .iso file inside the TikiLiveCD to burn an special CD to let the computer boot initially from this CD, and quickly change to the usb unit.

Changes can be saved for one session using the built in utility within Slax for saving session changes, but it has been proven to fail if you want to recover more than one saved session.
Instead, when working with Tiki, you can export the mysql database and record it on your USB unit, and import it back whenever you need to work again with you updated Tiki.

Other implementations

There are other changes to implement a USBTiki solution, but none done yet (afaik).
