[Live-demo] PostGIS issues on thel Live DVD 3.0

[Cameron Shorter]

Paul, Mark,

In building the 3.0-alpha3 version of the liveDVD, I'm getting the 
following query come up (which requires acknowledgement). It comes up in 
the install_postgres.sh script.

How do you suggest this should be handled? Should we be updating the 
LiveDVD install script for Postgres to a later version?
Could I tempt you to update the LiveDVD install script?
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_postgres.sh
(current version is r2716)

Issue 1: Should we upgrade to a later version of posgres?
Issue 2: Please ensure the user is not prompted for a response during 
the build process and we wish this to be automated.
Please respond via the ticket at: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/520
