OSGeoLive Documentation Archive
About OSGeoLive
OSGeoLive is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around.
General Notes
This branch contains all documentation releases of OSGeoLive.
The archive is stored in the gh-pages branch of the OSGeoLive-doc repository. While the overall size of the repository is greatly increased git pull will
only download this branch if explicitly requested.
In the future new releases could be automatically added to the archive via Travis or Appveyor.
Extraction Process
ISOs were downloaded from https://sourceforge.net. This contains an archive of all archives from v2.0 to the present release, for example https://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/osgeo-live/2.0/arramagong-livedvd-2.0.3-Final.iso The "mini" ISO versions were used as the full versions have been removed from SourceForge. The documentation in both however is identical.
Older ISOs (v2.0 to v5.0) could be extracted using 7Zip and a docs folder was contained in the root.
Versions v6.0 to v.8.5 required unzipping, and then further extracting the files from casper/filesystem.squashfs. Once this was extracted (to a filesystem folder) files were found in casper/filesystem/var/www/html
From v9.0 onwards casper/filesystem.squashfs was extracted and the docs contained in
casper/filesystem/usr/share/doc/osgeolive-docs/html.
