This was formally available via the users home directory "data" folder;
this no longer is available allowing uDig to fail
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Testing as the quickstart does
not match the dvd contents.

Was a decision made to handle the data directory differently?

Going through the script I find that data ends up in:
- /usr/local/share/udig/

Can the symbolic link be restored or can we put the data in the users home
directory as is done for other sample data?

Comment(by jive):

It actually looks like the "data" folder in the users home directory
points to /user/local/share/data?

So I recommend adding a symbolic udig-data to /usr/share/data folder? I
will need some help/review of the install_udig.sh script to make this
happen.

Comment:

I was not able to sort out a symbolic link; but did change the
install_udig script to unpack a udig_data folder in /usr/local/share/data
/udig-data
