I can't speak to Apache, for for MySQL, there is a self contained installation that can be downloaded from MySQL's site. I've used this in conjunction with Ruby/Webrick to make self contained packages of client sites + web based applications which they can drop onto a laptop for use at trade shows and the like that don't have internet access. The self contained MySQL works just fine. Kirk Haines
