Correct, please test FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD-Alpha3_4.iso

 From now on we plan to only fix bugs and address cosmetic changes (like 
populating an index.html). We don't plan to add features.

Also, we have extra testing time until Wednesday 24 September, but 
please test earlier rather than later so we have time to turn around any 
fixes.
