[Koha] Running koha from removable media

[James Leech]

Hello

 

Has anyone ever heard of anyone attempting to run a simple library
management system off a USB Stick? 

 

With USB sticks getting larger, and various solutions offering to boot
Linux from your portable USB stick, would it be possible to run a
version of koha that could manage a small library collection?  I'm not
very cluey about client / database solutions, but I noticed one post
mentioning Koha running on a standalone PC with the client accessing the
localhost.

 

Also, how large would a koha installation be?

 

Cheerio,

 

James
