Using excellent instructions from http://bostongis.com/ In particular, the Almost idiot's guide...

First, get the data from CloudMade for California and Oregon

mkdir /green/GISData/OSM && cd /green/GISData/OSM
wget http://downloads.cloudmade.com/americas/northern_america/united_states/california/california.osm.bz2
wget http://downloads.cloudmade.com/americas/northern_america/united_states/oregon/oregon.osm.bz2

Create a lovely Postgis database

createdb -U postgres osm -W -T template_postgis

My installed-from-source Postgis did not have hstore.sql so I built it:

cd ~/src/GIS/postgresql-9.0.6/contrib/hstore
USE_PGXS=1 make && sudo USE_PGXS=1 make install
cd /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib

Do this each time you create a database a: add hstore support to the database

psql -U postgres osm < hstore.sql

Build osm2pgsql

No need for any special configuration options, just build and install!

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libbz2-dev
cd ~/src/GIS
svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/export/osm2pgsql/
cd osm2pgsql
./autogen.sh
./configure && make && sudo make install

Using osm2pgsql

osm2pgsql oregon.osm.bz2 -d osm -U postgres \
-S /green/bwilson/src/GIS/osm2pgsql/default.style --hstore
osm2pgsql california.osm.bz2 --append -d osm -U postgres \
-S /green/bwilson/src/GIS/osm2pgsql/default.style --hstore

On my little server[ [Bellman]], it took 628 seconds to load the Oregon data and it took 3302 seconds to load California. Conclusion: California is much bigger, in fact there is probably room for me there in Nevada county.

I just loaded Oregon data onto my much snazzier server at work and it took 183 seconds.

Nice to have some data in my PostGIS server.

Now I need to get it showing up in Geoserver
