[Qgis-user] qgis on linuxmint?

[Alex Mandel]

OSGeo Live maintains an svn repo:
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/

The bin folder has the scripts, other folders have supporting files.

See http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc for more details about the
build process.

Enjoy,
Alex
