IMHO, it'd be better to have the rendered tiles on the DVD. If you want to have a tweaked ubuntu liveDVD with postGIS, mapnik, mod_tile and the whole shebang, fine. But I guess that doing so will disrupt the workflow of the people using the computer. I do think that you should experiment with setting up your own tile server, and run generate_tiles.py for Africa - that will get you directories full of tiles, ready to be burned into a DVD along with a small OpenLayers webpage. My guesstimation is that you could fit the tiles for the whole of Africa up to zoom 12 o 13 in a DVD.
