[Live-demo] Re: One week till OSGeo-Live Feature Freeze

[Alex Mandel]

You can find the script at
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_gisdata.sh

If you're familiar with SVN you can also checkout a copy of the scripts
and documentation files directly from the server.

I had a few bugs to report about reprojection and Russia but I'll send
those in a separate email.

Thanks,
Alex
