Thanks for the responses and sorry for the lack of info.
The CD I am creating is part of a 'suspected compromised server
toolkit' for Windows 2000/2003 servers. And rebooting is really not an
option.
The goal is to do some data collection without tampering with the state
of the server too much. Thats why I would love a way to run Ethereal
from a CD and not have to install software on a machine that may be
compromised.
And I really was hoping to find out a way for the winpcap stuff to be
loaded from this CD as well.
Thanks guys.

We do not have to install any files on the server itself.
Thanks for any info.
Is your objective to be able to run this on most hardware platforms?
Is rebooting the server acceptable?
IIRC winpcap has to be installed, and depending on circumstances
(phase of the moon, how much money M$ made last week, ...), needs a
reboot.
You would probably find you will need to compile for each *nix
platform pointing the target at whereever the CDROM will be mounted to
get the shared libs to work. e.g.
./configure --prefix=/cdrom/linux-x86
./configure --prefix=/cdrom/aix-power

It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory
is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be
continuous.
Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and
ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever
have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep
society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group
against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either
Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact.
