thanks. I have now added that file (.bzip2'd) to
   http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/data/
 (see READMEs there for comments)

and modified the OSM install script to add it to the disc.

We should (in some months time) -at the last moment redownload that file
so it includes all of the latest OSM edits.

after thinking about it I think it might be better to just include the
raw .osm file on the disc (ie a basic starting point if you don't have
a network connection), and list the above commands in the tutorials
in order to demonstrate/teach the workflow.
