Ideally should use fedora 9 rather than fedora 8, I didn't have time to download 9 at the time (I have now but haven't started from scratch yet). 2. Mod_tile has seen a number of improvements recently, font paths have changed among other things. 3. osm2pgsql is introducing the ability to apply changesets directly. Not sure if this supports a small region. The vmware image runs well in 512MB of RAM. It may not scale well to a full planet but I suspect most people won't be interested in a full planet anyway, if they do it should be a matter of tweaking vmware and postgres memory settings. I'm a complete noob to mapnik so haven't looked at stylesheet customisations yet. Brett
