Hi Regie,<br><br>I don't have a mac.<br><br>Looking at the osgeo live dvd site (<a href="http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html">http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html</a>) the software has both a windows & mac installer. I would be inclined to say that they should have not problem. Have you pushed them towards the virtual machine option?<br>
<br>As for accessing the data on harddrive from booted live-dvd. I've tested the older osgeo 5.0 live dvd on windows 7 machine & could access files ok.<br><br>Hope this helps,<br><br>Richard<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hello,<br>
<br>
Does anybody know if QGIS or the OSGEO-Live DVD (which contains<br>
QGIS) work on a Mac? Are there any other pre-requisites, or is it just<br>
plug the DVD and play?<br>
<br>
We are currently doing an Ottawa Tree Canopy Cover Project<br>
(<a href="http://www.ottawaforests.ca/index.php/our-events/32-ottawa-tree-canopy-mapping-project" target="_blank">http://www.ottawaforests.ca/index.php/our-events/32-ottawa-tree-canopy-mapping-project</a>)<br>
using QGIS but a few of our volunteers indicated that they have Macs.<br>
I don't have access to a Mac computer so I have no way to check. Also,<br>
we are providing them data (shapefiles, geotiffs) that were created on<br>
a Windows machine. We're asking them to copy that data on to their<br>
computers. Would those data still be accessible once they copy those<br>
on to their Macs and use the OSGEO-Live DVD?<br>
<br>
Thanks very much,<br>
Regie<br>
