vB Forum on CD?

[Thomas P]

Hello there,

I would like to know, if anyone ever realized a vB on CD, i.e. a complete vB on CD for offline usage?

I don't mean by grabbing a vB via offline reader, but by other means?

thx,
-Tom

I never heard of it on cd, I realy would not be able think of a reason why since it is for an online community.

You can, just put the files onto CD inc. DB file, although whatever computer you use it on, it must have Apahe, MySQL and PHP installed on it.

Ya I know can run it local but what I ment is I have no clue why would want it on a cd.

I used run them local for testing. But never but one on disk (unless it was zip)

That's if you trust CD's. A survey was conducted on 100 CD's that were wrote with the same file. They were put in the same cupboard in the same house for the same amount of time (a year). And 34 of them were ruined within a year.

Best burn it 4 times then So atleast one will play when ya ready (I just had to )

But I have yet to have a trouble with a cd unless my 2 year old grabs it.

Just get an external hardrive or use zip disks - they're reliable
