Jacolin, I understand that adding html content to the liveDVD is quite straight forward. Stefan can you please verify the steps. I think it is just a case of: * You download the LiveDVD * Add you favourite HTML pages into the DVD image * Save and then burn the new image Jacolin Yves wrote: Le Tuesday 14 April 2009 22:46:13 Cameron Shorter, vous avez écrit : Yves, Have you considered using the LiveDVD instead of a USB key?

Hi Cameron, Yepp. We'll attend GISAS conference as a exhibitor at 30, April. And we have another plan to show ourselves to other GIS related conference before FOSS4G 2009. If you send postcards to us, that would be very nice. Do you want my address? regards, 2009/4/15 Cameron Shorter cameron.shor...@gmail.com Sanghee, Is your event before FOSS4G in October?
