[OSM-talk] rendering some large maps, e.g. whole world

Hello, i installed PostgreSQL / PostGIS and use a modified version of this script to render maps: svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/render/mapnik/generate_image.py I've just created two maps of Germany, one is 12000 x 16000, the other is 3000 x 4000. I then get two different 'levels of detail'
