I've downloaded the openmaps GB file - well hopefully that is what it is - by using :
wget http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/great_britain.osm.bz2
now to see if I can create an index on that data using the osmosis toolkit... I tried some scripts from another blog site, but no they don't work. So now I've installed postgres - using the wizard, seems to work very well on fedora.
now to decompress the mapping file - so :
bzcat great_britain.osm.bz2 > great_britain.osm
and wait....and at 3.8 GB we need to re-configure the VM for more disk space....hmm after 2 hours fiddling with Gnome Partition editor and other niceties I decided to reconfigure a new VM player, this time with 70GBs, as a starter.
So onto the openmap stuff...
there is an osmosis utility called osm2postgresql_05rc4.sh (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2postgresql) so...this needs to be continued...
