[mapserver-dev] Re: Please help tweak and test Mapserver on theFOSS4G DVD

I included documentation and Gmap + itasca demo inside the LiveDVD. The 
install script is available in their svn: 
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/

PS: If any HTML+CSS guru could improve the current index page, which is 
actually.... ugly? :P, that's would be great.
