As others have said this isn't really a web server problem its more a 
browser problem. If you were willing to investigate the possibility of 
distributing the mozilla browser on your CD then you could look at 
including protozilla as a way to run a kind of "client side" CGI. 
However I suspect its easier to assume a TCPIP stack.

If interested take a look at http://protozilla.mozdev.org/ and an 
article at http://linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4724&mode=thread&order=0

Also bear in mind this is definitely beta code at present
