I was also wondering if anyone has looked at installing a local map rendering engine (e.g. mapnik) so that OSM maps can be used in an offline mode? I took a brief look on one of my systems (ubuntu, IIRC, could have been CentOS), but it seemed like an all too typical linux dependency death spiral, so I gave up fairly quickly. If you've set one of these up, do you have suggestions on which distro, a good howto, etc?
If the OSM map _data_ is all you need, and you don't require the "prettiness" of the OSM rendering engines, download the Cloudmade Shapefile OSM files and be done with it.
