Press release about how to create a script for installing software like Geoserver onto the Live DVD is here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_28

and process is here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build

I strongly urge someone to write such an installer, as this is the first step required to get Geoserver packaged up into Debian and Ubuntu.

Hi!

For now Geoserver 1.7 is installed on the LiveDVD. There should be
enough space to put an additional Geoserver on it. Unfortunately, we
don't have time to do install 2.0 as well. :-(

If you want GS2 on the DVD as well, all you have to do is write an
install script, that downloads, installs and configures GS2 for the
GISVM. Cameron is going to do a press release, that describes more
exactly what you would have to do. If he doesn't send to the
geoserver-dev-list, I'll forward it to you.

cheers,
stefan

the only thing that changes will be bug fixes.  And there are blockers
but nothing fundamental.

If there's room on the livedvd I think including both would be awesome.
If you can only pick one the safe bet is 1.7.  Of course I personally
rarely play it super safe.

If you can wait a week or two there's a pretty good chance RC2 will come
out, which I believe has a pretty solid chance of being the same as 2.0.0.

    2.0 will change too much before the conference - and should be
    unencumbered to do so.

    It might be possible to put it on as a "preview" to show off the new
    UI concept, but maybe rather than code just some screenshots might
    give people a feel.
