Ok. I download the planet. I got postgres installed and postgis.(http://lucasmanual.com/mywiki/Postgresql) Got the osm2pgsql, which just finished. So now I should have all the maps? What now? I've installed libmapnik from debian ? or should I get it somewhat differently? Mapnik is not mentioned nowhere in you geo demos. What is mapnik used in tg.ext.geo? I guess now I have to connect my gis data in postgres to tg. You said I use openlayers and tilecache ? How? What is the difference in you maps demo vs tilecache demo? Which one should I get and what I need to change to use my new gis data to display the map?
