I am happy to announce that GNUmed version 0.3.0 has just
been released.
Apart from working in parallel on some lab stuff, one of my
priorities (after getting off a series of clinical shifts ending Sept
2nd) will be to try to help feedback with client version 0.3x.
As my desktop machines are all Macs except one Windows machine, I may
prefer to give the feedback testing from linux. From my point of
view, as soon as GNUmed 0.3x (or 0.4) has reached the functionality
that I will need in production (I am not yet in production) then I
may shift to non-linux feedback from non-linux clients.
I understand that there is a GNUmed Live CD_ ISO image (last modified
July 28) at
http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/live-cd/binary-0.2.8.10-2.iso
some questions about it whose answers I can add to the wiki:
- does it make possible to boot Debian Etch, or Lenny (or is it
configured to "stable", or "testing")
- can it boot on AMD processors, or only Intel?
- does it require access to the hard drive in order to write a
scratch file, and must a hard drive partitionhave been already
formatted in advance, using ??? file system to make this possible?
- if any updating is attempted from the Live CD (for example, to
install GNUmed client 0.3.x), will such updates be lost with any
shutting down or reboot of the machine?
- is a GNUmed (postgres) database already bootstrapped in this Live CD?
- may the password for *root* be needed and able to be known?
- may a password for *postgres* be needed and able to be known?
- it is mentioned on the wiki that it loads a German version of
GNUmed. Accordingly if language is changed (say, to English) at a
system level in Debian will this be read and acted on by the database
and/or the client, or will the client on the Live CD have been pre-
built (pre-packaged) in a way that will not provide the English strings?
