I am not sure whether it's what is wanted here, but TTLLP wants to 
produce a bootable koha CD, probably based on Morphix.  It would be 
put in the CD drive, the computer restarted and then you have a 
machine with a working koha system on the screen in front of you, all 
running from the CD without any need for installation.  The project is 
waiting for koha v2.0 and either spare staff time or a customer that 
wants it.

I suspect that Rachele is looking for a multiplatform executable so 
that users of the CD can just run it and enter search terms from their 
normal login.  koha probably isn't suitable for that.  Maybe something 
based upon SWISH-E would be better suited.
