I wish to make a local copy of 256x256 tiles for my country at all zoom levels. This is for use with a Rohde & Schwarz PR100 receiver. There is freely available software from Rohde & Schwarz which downloads the tiles from OSM and places them in separate folders depending on zoom level - http://www2.rohde-schwarz.com/en/products/radiomonitoring/receivers/PR100-|-Software-|-24-|-5286.html.

However I want to be able to generate these tiles myself locally as using data from a .osm.bz2 file as using the above software is time consuming and is obviously a strain on the OSMs servers.

What is the most straight forward way of achieving this? I have PostgreSQL with PostGIS and HOTOSM with Mapnik installed.

Just as a brief comment: thank you for being considerate to the OSM servers!

You can use the python script generate_tiles.py which is in the mapnik distribution to batch render areas. Another (more complicated) approach is using tile-server tools like renderd or tirex. You can find more information in the osm wiki, e.g. here and here.

One way to do this is to use Maperitive (depending on the size of the country): Maperitive Tutorial: A Hiking Web Map In Ten Easy Steps.
