Can Python be run off of a CD-ROM?

[Eddie Corns]

Cool idea, Arthur!

I tried to download KNOPPIX last night, and to no avial. The knoppix servers
are currently restricted from allowing downloadings. DOH! I tried to find an
available mirror someplace, but had no luck.

If you are interested in going this route (and you ought to be) it might be
worth checking out Morphix (http://morphix.sourceforge.net/) which allows you
to create your own Knoppix distributions. Basically adding your own
requirements to the base distribution (or removing things you don't want your
students to have).
