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.
