You are creating a lot of work for yourself doing this. Why not buy some external server space at a place like <a href="http://siteground.com">siteground.com</a>. You get a domain name and mega gigs of space and traffic for $160AUD. Moodle is already one of the packages you can install using their Fantastico. Students can access your course ware from anywhere any time. mine is at <a href="http://www.watiwara.org">www.watiwara.org</a> and my first lot of two years is about up and ready for renewal. <br>

Hi <br><br>I do not have access to a server and it will remain that way for the near future. The only way around this issue is to use my USB laptop drive. A linux server would be nice but right now I literally have no harware to install it on. The existing XP computer is simply one of the class computers. As I understand VMware will cost money and I'm not sure running VMware off a USB would do the trick. I am not allowed to install anything on the computers because they are used for TEFOL testing and the people here are paranoid about it.<br>
