I'll look into mod_tile later, as right now I'm not servering the tiles yet.

So what you are saying here is that  ./generate_tiles.py with the
default osm.xml will not generate all tiles?

My tiles right now are about 4gb?

If I want to render the whole planet and I want to have a tile for
every mile of it, will ./generate_tiles.py work or I have to specify
some additional parameters?

./generate_tiles.py planet

or
./generate_tiles.py northamerica

or?

Thanks,
Lucas
