[mapguide-internals] mgos installer question/comments

[Paul Spencer]

Nope, nothing under OSGeo ...

another installer question while I have your attention - should the  
installer set up an Alias for the Help directory?  I didn't install  
Help the first time around, so I reran it and it added the Help  
directory for me (fantastic, worked but asked for a reboot?) but no  
alias in the httpd.conf.  Since these are web pages, shouldn't it be  
accessible as mapguide/Help or something?

Cheers

Paul
