Curtis,

GEMPAK is nopt something that you would boot. What have you put onto the CD?
To run GEMPAK, you need the distribution directory structure including
all tables, maps and programs unpacked from the distribution tarfile. If
you have the unpacked directory structure on a CD, you would need to create a 
Gemenviron file
that correctly identifies the $NAWIPS envirionmental variable
as the top of the GEMPAK tree. You could then run executables from the disk.

You cannot simply have a tarfile on a CD and execute that.
