Books online

I am constantly working with SQL 2000 at my clients sites because we are
a Microsoft Business Solutions Partner.
Is there any way for me to take Books Online and have it in a single
help file or some system so that I have easy reference to it?
I've tried taking the help files that make up Books Online and putting
them on a CD but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks!Brain,
Why not just install it everywhere. It's not restricted by licensing
and is a free download from MS, that you can copy onto CD and install
from there.

No I haven't tried running it from a CD only without installing it, but it wouldn't
be impossible. There are many install managers that will monitor what registry
keys and files a setup routine modifies.
Run one as you install BOL, and you should be able to create your own registry
files for inserting/removing it quickly, and probably changing it's access path to
CD - but why would you want to? Are your customers so uptight that they wont
allow you to install product documentation on their servers?
