[Live-demo] Menus

[Brian Hamlin]

oddly enough..
I am looking at a system I installed to hard disk, via the opening 
'Install' CLI method...
under 'Applications', the 'Other' menu disappears.. its gone
the 'Education' menu has 26 items..
there is a menu called 'Geospatial' in the menu bar, with the following:
     Databases
     Desktop GIS
     Navigation and Maps
     Servers
     Spatial Tools
     Beta software
     --
     OSGeo Software Help
