[OSM-talk] how to apply OSM styles to maps using Quantum GIS

[Felipe Carrillo]

Thanks Dane:
I've done the first 4 steps:
1) Install postgres/postgis/mapnik
2) install osm2pgsql
3) download osm data
4) import into postgis using osm2pgsql

Today, I downloaded some osm data and ran osm2pgsql to to put data in PostGis creating:
planet_osm_line
planet_osm_point
planet_osm_polygon
planet_osm_roads
I imported these layers into qgis but then I got stuck again with the style.
I just need to figure out how to execute the last 2 steps:
5) edit the 'osm.xml' style to fit your database configuration
6) test rendering the osm.xml with 'generate_image.py' or 'nik2img,py'
