Right, I see that now.  Since html files are generated with absolute links, 
I'll need to write a script to "correct" them.

Is there a cross-platform equivalent to "autorun.inf" that works on 
Linux?  Is it possible to have Linux open default brower and present 
/index.html from a cdrom by simply inserting the disc into drive?
