Hi,

We have lot of documentation and training manuals
to which we have made a nice front end in Zope.
Problem is many peopls don't've good net connection
and will be on the road, to effectively access the
site.

I have an idea that just burn the Zope site into a
CD, distribute it and people can go and start the
Zserver from CD in their Windoze machines.

  (I don't've a CD burner to try this out)

Do you think this is feasible? I know zope creates
locks and stuff like that, but is there anyway to
run Zope from a completely read-only medium? on Windows?

I can ask people to copy the folder from CD to
their PCs and try - but I work for a non-profit
organization and our PC's are not exactly equipped
with big hard drives! And the content is sizable
because we use lot of photographs and pdf documents.

Any help will be appreciated...
