If all you want is to check how your 'site' looks perhaps it'd be much 
simpler to simply point your browser to your parent html file rather 
than set up a server machine to serve it:
file:///home/yourusername/yoursubdirectory/index.html
It'll look exactly the same as it would if you were running it on a 
server.
(or am I missing something?)
