ok, thanks. should we copy that into
   http://grass.osgeo.org/sampledata/north_carolina/

as .tar.gz too?  keeping the same filename?

We are already doing that for NC shape, rast_geotiff, and kml
tarballs at the above sampledata/ URL. The cloning of the data
was one reason I felt pretty shaky about shipping the full NC
grass Location in addition to the shp/gtiff files.

Also along with selected Natural Earth data layers, an
OpenStreetMap data extract, and links to a bunch of other
random shapefiles and geotiffs that other projects supply
as part of their quickstart docs, all in a ~/data/ directory.
Finally, there's an icon on the Desktop which leads to a OSGeo
website listing links to geodata & courseware downloads needed
for various workshops and tutorials that were too big to fit on
the disc or not ready at the time the discs went to press.
