Under Debian and Ubuntu, there is a package called live-build that can create a
Bootable distribution that runs from DVD. You can include your own software in
the build, but it takes a long time to build. It includes a lot of standard
packages that you probably don't need.
Runs entirely off the DVD, but can mount other drives if you desire.
Data files can be changed while running, as it saves the diffs in memory. Any
data changed that you don't save to external storage gets lost when you shut
down. Would be one way to distribute turnkey emulators to play with.

While you could probably get simh running using djgpp and MSDOS, you'd play
hell trying to get networking. In theory, it would be possible to graft NDIS
support into simh, but there probably aren't many modern NICs with real mode
NDIS drivers.
I think you'd be better off building a simh "appliance" around a small linux
distro.

Another option would be DJGPP, which has the advantage of being GCC so SIMH
should be comfortable with it. I've used it in the past for Unix-origin
programs with good success.
