Updated install notes for Mapserver 5.0 with AGG on FC8

Had the need to install Mapserver/PostGIS/GDAL etc on a FC8 box.  While 99% of what I do now is on Ubuntu (here are some notes and vids on installing there)… I occasionally need to play on a Fedora box.  So, here are some recent install notes from a bare bones FC8 box to get it all going from source…

QGIS on the eee…

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Well, I got Ubuntu 7.10 installed on an 8 gig SDHC card and away I go…

4.5 gigs used for the base Ubuntu system as well as the base GIS software:

1) Proj4 (4.6.0)
2) GDAL/OGR (1.5.0)
3) GEOS (3.0.0)
4) Postgresql (8.2.5)
5) PostGIS (1.3.2)
6) QT dev environment (4.3.2)
7) QGIS svn (0.9.2)

What do you get? Well, an ultra portable GIS workstation weighing in at less than 2 lbs that is very fun!
