[Live-demo] Status of full osgeolive 6.5?

[Alex Mandel]

Chatted with Angelos, we think we know the issue. He had put the
installers into the squash instead of next to it, which grew the squash
above 4GB which isn't normally supported on a normal ISO cd without udf
specifically turned on.

We'll fix the script and try again.

Thanks,
Alex
