brotherhood_of_LAN: I think what you just described is a fairly common practice already.

You can run CGI programs from those cd's, basically it's a regular cd with less space (about 60mb instead of 600), you could run anything you want off them. It'd take a little programming work to setup but I'm pretty sure you could distribute a copy of apache and perl on the cd, setup an autorun.inf file to start up apache with settings that point to the cd and launch a web browser to the local host (there is a lot of work involved in making that alone work but once finished it'd be easily repeatable... and there is the problem of running programs on different operating systems). I guess the point is the sky is the limit and jumping into anything fancy with those little cd's might take a LOT of foreplanning.
