There should not be any issues with the files or the CD at all, but you
might want to talk to the IT person (if different from who you're currently
talking to) and make sure the files will transfer.  If there is no decent
answer, then just burn them a CD with some stuff onnit and see if it works.

BTW, my opinion on the splash page is that if the client wants it, then it
is very useful, because they get satisfaction from it.  And there is plenty
to be said for a well designed splash page - it makes the web that much less
dour.
