Re: [DebianGIS] [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G LiveCD
We have now posted an image of the dvd to
http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD-Alpha1.iso. My
attempts and rangling some interesting data came to nothing due to the
short timeline, but Stefan has added the applications listed. It
sounds like camp-to-camp won't have time to put into the image this
week. Is anyone else ready to step up and do their thing?
