The DVD is labeled:
 Video Training CCENT/CCNA ICND1
Official Exam Certification Guide
Second Edition

As far as actual names cfm.exe is the name of the main file that appears
to call the rest of a bunch of files in a directory labeled 'folder'
There is also
a directory labeled 'PDF'.

I figure it was probably flash based but I am not sure. I would think that they
would have made something a bit more universal so it will run on the most
common systems. I guess it only runs on windows. I had to stick a HD which
is loaded with XP in a machine so I could run it. I am not so sure of running a
VM on the machine I want to use (my netbook) perhaps I can do something
else, load windows on a stick and try that. What a mess.
