Another directory that is good to grab are the county.zip file for each
state.
Also, depending on your needs and display(s), I would set the dbfawk
files to turn off some features based on zoom level let alone the screen
being supercluttered.

As being one of the instigators of this project, I only use the
following:
edges
areawater
arealm
pointlm
There also was previous a question concerning layering. I created a
directory in /usr/local/share/xastir/maps called "tiger2008". Under
this are four directories, "edges", "areawater", "arealm", and
"pointlm". Inside each directory are the files for the areas that I
want to cover. So when it came to layering, all I had to do was assign
the layer numbers to the subdirectories and not to the individual
files and away I go. Edges was always on top, ...lm's in the middle,
and areawater on the bottom of the stack. The WX radar was always
below this stack and the SBW stuff was always on top.
I have not been able to test the latest CVS to the fullest on my
laptop as I do not have all the TIGER files that I would need on since
I installed the larger HD. I also have the original reworks of the
dbfawk's for tiger2008 still on my system as well so I can compare the
CVS release to what I had.
Doing the shapefile research and just trying to cover all angles was a
fun piece of research and some said a bit of overkill but it was
necessary as a self-documenting file and process in attempt to present
a quality piece of work to the community.
May the community enjoy.

Does anyone have a suggested set of files that we should download for
the best
results?
For example, are the 2000 files necessary?
My guess is that we need the following at a minimum:
- All Lines (*edges*) - this appears to be the primary file for roads
- Area Hydrography (*areawater*) - this appears to be lakes and rivers
But I'm not sure about these things.
- Area Landmark (*arealm*)
- Point Landmark (*pointlm*)
- Current Block (*tabblock*)
- Current County Subdivision (*consub*)
- Feature Names Relationship File (*featnames*)
Thanks!
