Thanks Electron...

Please how can i avoid setting up each time i plug my usb stick into
another host?

I think xampp is actually the best option but i'm asking, can i reduce
the file size i.e. are ther files i wounldn't need? and  what specific
files do i need to reconfigure withe the new port address say, 8088?

Thank you all.
