[Live-demo] Re: [mapserver-dev] Testing Mapserver on the LiveDVD

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks Alan your help would be greatly appreciated. Mapserver is one of 
the last packages on the LiveDVD left without test steps.

Yes, we are still on target to put out the final release this weekend, 
so could you please write down some test steps by Saturday evening at 
the latest. Sooner would be better so that we can have time to run 
through the tests and possibly adjust them.
