1. Re: drupal on a stick for Mac OS X Yosemite I did not get that far. The mysql is failing to start up.

Mysql , it seems doesn't start automatically on my mac or macbook even when the box is checked. I have to go to system Preferences -> Mysql and start it manyully every time the mac is started. Also I haven't found a way to get Drupal on another disk or usb to find the mac installed mysql.
