[OSGeo-Discuss] GeoFOSS LiveDVD - test it before we burn it

[Tim Bowden]

Mark,  Please don't let that cutoff slip.  How long will your upload
take?  I've got to start a download as soon as it's finished (note to
self- I wonder if I can start slurping shortly after you start
uploading?  Is there an rsync daemon on the server?  That might make it
quicker).  I'm taking a hard copy with me in case the duplication house
has issues with the download size (they've flagged this yesterday as the
size has grown a bit).  I'll be leaving tomorrow at lunchtime, so that's
cutting it fine as is.

If there is anyone already in Cape Town on a fast link who can download
in a timely manner, please drop me a line.  I prefer to have more
contingency plans ;-)

Regards,
Tim
