Installing Python 232 onto CD-ROM

[Barry Newberger]

Wanted to install Python 2.3.2 for Windows onto a CD-ROM.  Problem,  my 
high-speed connection is on PC with no CD burner.  My solution: install 
onto USB removable cartridge, move the cartridge to my "other" computer 
and burn image of the cartridge onto the CD.  Oh silly me.
Installation onto the cartridge, and so far, so good.  Install and runs 
hunky-dory from the removable.  Burn onto the CD, and launch.  Now fails 
with an "import site failed" error.  After hitting the documentation, 
heck the sys.path list and no \lib\site-packages subdirectory.  (Running 
from the removable, this subdirectory does appear.  And the subdirectory 
is on both the CD-ROM and removable cartridge.)  Add a .pth file with 
the subdirectory string.  Still no good.

Crying uncle at this point.

TIA,
