Hi John, The idea with OSGeo Live DVD is to reboot your computer and tell it to boot from the DVD instead of from your hard drive. The DVD actually includes a version of linux that will run from memory, without writing anything to your hard drive. It's cool stuff :) Tyler ----- Tyler Mitchell, Publisher Locate Press, [email protected] Open Source "geo" Books http://www.locatepress.com
