A) "Possible" is a BIG word.  So is "anywhere".  If you could narrow
these two down a bit it might help answer your question.

B) Why?  Posgrgres is a network aware service so your clients can
generally attach TO the server FROM "anywhere" so why have a portable
installation?  Not arguing, just trying to understand.
