[Live-demo] Does your application work on the click2try GISVM?

[Simon Pigot]

What puzzles me about all this is that the changes Jeroen has made to 
the shortcut scripts were actually the way in which the shortcut scripts 
were originally submitted!

Cameron, the chown command is in the install_geonetwork.sh already!

The problems seem to have been caused by a decision someone made to 
change the uid/gid of user/password (when? how? why?) - is it still 
necessary to run the scripts with a sudo to user?

Cheers,
Simon
