[Live-demo] 5.0 Beta 4 Status - Space

[Frank Gasdorf]

I really wounder about the gisvm svn folder that is still on the DVD and not
really required for the projects I guess. IMHO I would remove these 180 MB
gisvm directory after successfully installation. Was it an initial thought
to let this folder still on it to "develop" gisvm and try install_scripts
after roll out? If so it should be still on it. But I guess the user who
wants to try any of this project do not really wants to know how to install
(in a specific way) the software components itself.

Any opinions?

Cheers, Frank
