You're showing a profound misunderstanding of how the web works. When you create an HTML file, you put it on a server online for people to access. In order for anybody to ever view this file, they need to connect to this server. By connecting to this server, they download this file to their system cache and it opens. Everything you view on the web is downloaded first. Whether it's downloaded to the cache or to another location on the harddrive is up to the person viewing the HTML file.
So, in order for a person to view an HTML file offline, they must first have viewed in online. If they did not go out of their way to save the file to a specific location on their hard drive, it will sit in the cache until it eventually expires and is deleted as other new content is downloaded. So long as the file is SOMEWHERE on their hard drive, the user can then view if offline.

The user would have to save it to their hard drive. The copy is then available to them anytime. You could distribute your HTML website via CD but of coarse, your content cant be updated untill you send them a new cd.

That is up to your individual users. If your page is available online, then anyone can choose to make it available offline to themselves.
