| | 1 | I have done some experiments and succeeding in preparing an OSGeo4W install CD that can be used instead of installing from the network. |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | I had to fix some problems with "local mode" in the express install logic. I also added logic so that "-L -l _cwd_" can be passed on the osgeo4w-setup.exe commandline to run in local mode using the current working directory as the package cache. With those changes (uploaded already) I was successful making a CD. I also created an autorun file: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/autorun.inf |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | A similar approach can be used to create a auto-running USB key, though it requires small changes to the autorun.inf file. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | The CD image is essentially a clone of: |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | and all the subdirectories. There are various means to get this tree, but I used the rsync command: |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | {{{ |
| | 18 | rsync -av download.osgeo.org::download/osgeo4w . |
| | 19 | }}} |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | It would also be interesting to have an *installed* OSGeo4W tree on a CD. I have not tried this yet. |
