Yes, but with a few "issues": according to the web page, "Installed client : 6 Go", but easily affordable DVDs have a 4.5Go limit (not going into the details about double layers), you may not be able to make a full file to file copy. You may use several methods, after downloading Ryzom installer, and install the game; patch the client until it's up to date and then:

1) is complicated, but has a "cool/geek/custom" factor, use wise or installshield or any other (free) installer to create a set of CDs or a DvD, and you have your own custom installer, put a few of your screenshots and use it. Some are really easy to create, just drag your "tree", and fill in a few forms, adding screenies at will (I do think that this may be illegal to distribute tho, I would think that only the unmodified file can be redistributed). It can create a set of 2-3 nice CD with standalone installing interface.

2) Use winzip/winrar/winfoo to compress the file and burn the .zip(s) file, creating as many pieces as your media constrains. Just make sure (I haven't tried myself, but I'd guess compressed it would be 2 Go max, but some players could go way above that if you keep your screenshots as well) you don't create files too big (e.g., remember that FAT32 has a limit of 4Go).

A ryzom "backup" is handy, in case of a failure and when you start getting the shakes no need to redownload again :o )
