Wow, that's a good news! Thank you for testing!

Sorry for the noisy output. It was a contribution of a student to pgRouting
and unfortunately I have no idea about C and C++ to be able to add a --quiet
flag. All I could manage is to work on the Ubuntu package ;-) Probably it's
not so difficult and I can ask Anton, if he has a time.

About the time it takes I expected a bit less, but the OSM file of Barcelona
was larger than I thought. It has to build the topology, but I thinlk it's
worth to do when building the LiveDVD, because it will ensure that the OSM
file available in /usr/share/osm is the same version as the routing data. An
option would be to just load a prepared database dump as in the previous
LiveDVD releases.
