  15 &lt;p&gt;Har oppdaget at mange ikke er klar over at OpenStreetmap.org er
  16 tilgjengelig i en rekke forskjellige formater.  Her er en liste med
  17 eksporter jeg kjenner til for Norge, for de som trenger et
  18 fribrukskart til sine tjenester:&lt;/p&gt;

  39
  40 &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  43 dermed være noe for enhver smak.&lt;/p&gt;

  53 &lt;p&gt;Prioritising packages for the Debian Edu /
  54 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; DVD, which is
  55 supposed provide a school with all the services and user applications
  56 needed on the pupils computer network has always been hard.  Even
  57 schools without Internet connections should be able to get Debian Edu
  58 working using this DVD.&lt;/p&gt;
  59
  60 &lt;p&gt;The job became a lot harder when apt and aptitude started
  61 installing recommended packages by default.  We want the same set of
  62 packages to be installed when using the DVD and the netinst CD, and
  63 that means all recommended packages need to be on the DVD.  I created
  64 a patch for debian-cd in BTS report #601203 to do this, and since this
  65 change was applied to the Debian Edu DVD build, we have been seriously
  66 short on space.&lt;/p&gt;
  67
  68 &lt;p&gt;A few days ago we decided to drop blender, wxmaxima and kicad to
  69 save space on the DVD, believing that those needing these applications
  70 are few and can get them from the Debian archive.&lt;/p&gt;
  71
  72 &lt;p&gt;Yesterday, I had a look what source packages to see which packages
  73 were using most space.  A few large packages are well know;
  74 openoffice.org, openclipart and fluid-soundfont.  But I also
  75 discovered that lilypond used 106 MiB and fglrx-driver used 53 MiB.
  76 The lilypond package is pulled in as a dependency for rosegarden, and
  77 when looking a bit closer I discovered that 99 MiB of the 106 MiB were
  78 the documentation package, which is recommended by the binary package.
  79 I decided to drop this documentation package from our DVD, as most of
  80 our users will use the GUI front-ends and do not need the lilypond
  81 documentation.  Similarly, I dropped the non-free fglrx-driver package
  82 which might be installed by d-i when its hardware is detected, as the
  83 free X driver should work.&lt;/p&gt;
  84
  85 &lt;p&gt;With this change, we finally got space for the LXDE and Gnome
  86 desktop packages as well as the language specific packages making the
  87 DVD more useful again.&lt;/p&gt;
