[Live-demo] WMS Demo Server down

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Frank,
OSGeo-Live is designed to work when OSGeo-Live is not connected to the 
internet.
As such, the UDig quickstart should reference WMS services that are 
already installed, probably the mapserver WMS (which doesn't require 
java to be started first).
