Several years ago, I created a demo app that ran off of a CD. I used a 'small footprint' Web server called SambarServer.
It worked fine. With a DVD and much faster machines, this should perform even better.

You can use MapServer's map mode (mode=map) to generate your maps without having to create a temporary directory. You won't be able to use WMS (and WFS/WCS) as they require IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL (which needs to be writeable) but chances are you don't want to use those anyway. You might also be able to use OpenLayers if you don't want to create your own interface. To make this work on any CD/Drive drive, make sure to omit the drive letter when defining paths in Apache and MapServer. See MS4W to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
