Burning CD



I burned a CD with some material to share. It has
several folders with html files plus one file called
index.html. A user is expected to open index.html
in a browser. Is it possible, by using a Mac machine
(with OS 10.2.5), to make the disk self-starting? I
want the index.html file (telling students what to do)
to open automatically in a browser after the disk is
inserted.

Somebody explained to me that on a PC this can
be done by creating the disk-level file, called
autorun.ini, with the following content:

[Autorun]
open=CDLaunch/index.html

1) Is this correct?
2) How can the task be accomplished on a Mac?

Write to me in private, unless somebody else
expresses interest.
