I doubt it would be that easy to run the server off a removable drive. It runs as a service, and I don't think that it would be easy toset it all up properly on the second machine manually. I may be wrong about that, but it's not something I would tackle willingly.
However, using the portable drive as the webroot should be possible. That way, you only need to have it plugged in to use it. You would still have to replicate datasources et. al. in the admin, but I think that would be simple enough. --Ben Doom Douglas Waite wrote: > I work at a university on a web development team that works a lot in > Coldfusion.
