This section will walk you through the process of acquiring some fairly simple data for the U.S. state of Minnesota. In order to keep things simple, you will use a well-known MapServer demonstration dataset. The MapServer web site always has copies of the latest versions of MapServer software available as well as demonstration datasets and applications. First, go to http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html. Beside the latest download version file, you will see a link to demo. This links to a ZIP file called workshop.zip. The full path is http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/workshop.zip. Now, download, and unzip the contents of this file. All you really need is the workshop/data folder.
