[mapguide-users] Mapguide on a CD ?

[Jason Birch]

No, you can run it from within VMWare Player:

http://www.vmware.com/products/player/

The required VMWare config is available in this directory:

http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/livecd/

You would have to modify the LiveCD to contain your files though; I
doubt that this would be a reasonable solution for you.

MapGuide's a fairly heavy system to be running off a USB drive.  It
could technically be possible though, running the service from the
command line and with extensive changes to the config files.  Not
especially easy to manage if it is, as you don't have control over what
drive letter gets assigned to the USB drive.

Jo Cook has done some really neat work setting up GIS on a USB stick:

I am looking at running from within windows....

By live cd on ubuntu that would require the system to boot up from cd
using
ubuntu ?

I have nothing against ubuntu or linux but I'm already stretching my
friendship with our it department... They will not allow various OS to
load
on any of our pcs...
