Is it possible to run an Zope application directly on a CDROM? I mean with Zope+ZServer+Zope-Products+date on the CDROM without install all this stuff on the hard disk of the user. I read somethings about this on the mailing list but I cannot rediscover ...
If EVERYTHING you need can be put on the CD-ROM (typically this disqualifies relation databases other than gadfly) you can -- in fact, the CD we produced for the Zope Track at the Python conference contained demo binaries for Win32 and Linux. The demo app contained all of the Zope lists messages in a ZCatalog-searchable index... Pretty cool. Jens Vagelpohl here (mailto:jens@digicool.com) worked on that project and might be able to offer some tips. --Rob
