As Dave said, you will need to edit the file, and read the bit at the bottom.

Before you do though, here's some stuff to calculate. Each zoom level
is (2^z)*(2^z) tiles in size. So if you want all the tiles, for all
the zoom levels, calculate how many tiles is (2^18)*(2^18), plus
(2^17)*(2^17), plus all the others, and how long you think it will
take to generate them, and how much disk space.

Cheers,
Andy

*spoiler* - you might want to look more into mod_tile :-)
