[Live-demo] Re: [osgeo4w-dev] LiveDVD, Portable GIS, osgeo4w

[Stefan Hansen]

The current LiveDVD has already some windows installer on it. When 
inserted while windows is running autostart should open a browser with a 
welcome page. This page contains links to the windows installers on the 
DVD. The installers are in the "win"-folder of the DVD.

Let me know if that causes any problems.

cheers,
stefan
