Very easy. The "clone" concept helps a lot here. You simply have
to prepare a muLinux working system, with internal web server as
you like.
If you are using thttpd, the doc_root is /usr/srv/thttpd.
Put there your documents. After that:
1. roclone
2. move master.iso on the Windows
3. use your favorite CD-burner
I have a SCSI HP cd-writer, and it works fine under mulinux with
the standard package "cdrecord". So, I only use 1).
The "clone" script freeze your system on the CD, -as is-
With the procedure described here, web pages are embedded in the
big ramdisk where the system itself belong to.
But, maybe, you would prefere to put the web pages in a
separated directory in the CD, for example html/ etc.
You can create a link in /usr/srv/thttpd to the directory, pointing
to /media/html. Indeed, at boot, the CD is mounted under /media.
There are some malfunction using this approach, because the CDROM
filesystem confuse a little the server: 8.3 filenames, etc.
As alternative, you can create a new ramdisk on the fly and copy
this directory in it, using the setup/local:
device="/dev/ram`find_ramdisk`"
mkfs.ext2 $device || exit
mkdir -p /usr/srv/thttpd/html
mount $device /usr/srv/thttpd/html
cp -a /media/html/* /usr/srv/thttpd/html
How to create the html/ directory on the CD-ROM?
Pleease, read messages from "roclone": it offer you to put
on the master everything.
