Hey, Bhaskar, You are really good... You are doing future history.
Cl, November 26th, 2005. Wow... The future ain't what it used to be...
Wally has mastered a slight modification configuration of the Morphix disk.
But a new release would be welcome. If we can, perhaps we can configure
m2web and package it in the Live VivA. We will be seeking to design and
build as much of a packagable set of re-usable GUI tools.
Best wishes and a speedy recovery; Chris

Subject: [Hardhats-members] OpenVistA VivA FOIA Gold 0.2 available
OpenVistA VivA FOIA Gold combines Knoppix 3.7
(http://knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html), the state of the art in
Linux live CDs with GT.M V5.0-FT01, and VistA as released on November
26, 2005 under FOIA.
To run VistA, you will need a 512MB USB flash drive (also known as a zip
drive or thumb drive); a hard disk partition of over 300MB with a FAT
file system, or a Linux file system; or a hard disk partition which can
be partitioned with a FAT or Linux file system.
Mount the partition read-write (/mnt/sda1, /mnt/hda2, etc. - Knoppix
provides an icon on the screen for each, right click on the icon to
mount and then change status from read-only to read-write).
To first install and subsequently run VistA, in a shell, execute sudo
/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista. If the partition is a Linux file system,
and read-writable by the default user knoppix, just execute
/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista.
Owing to the fact that Knoppix occupies an entire CD image, the
combination of Knoppix, GT.M and VistA is requires a DVD, and is
technically therefore a live DVD rather than a live CD.
Knoppix 3.7 is used unchanged. You can use OpenVistA VivA FOIA Gold in
lieu of Knoppix 3.7 for all applications. [Check out Kyle Rankin's
Knoppix Hacks - http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/knoppixhks - on why a
Knoppix live CD is so useful even if you are a Windows system
administrator.]
GT.M V5.0-FT01 is installed in /usr/local/gtm. The script
/usr/local/gtm/gtmprofile is changed to set the EDITOR environment
variable to /bin/vi only if it is not already set (the default is to set
it unconditionally). The GT.M documentation is in subdirectories of
/usr/share/doc/gtm - for the Programmers Guide and the Messages
Recovery Procedures Guide, point your browser at the index.htm file in
each manual's directory; the Administration and Operations Guide is
still in the older PDF format. This version of GT.M supports long names
as well as the $Increment() function.
VistA is as released by the VA FTP site, with the routines and database
packaged for GT.M. ZTMGRSET was executed in order to select GT.M as the
underlying M platform. [This release is called OpenVistA VivA FOIA Gold
0.2 because the VistA software as released on the VA's FTP site is
sometimes referred to as the gold standard.]
Like all Linux live CDs that I have released with VistA and GT.M,
OpenVistA VivA FOIA Gold 0.2 can be used unaltered to demonstrate any
GT.M based application. On a USB flash drive, create a directory, e.g.,
myApp with subdirectories myApp/g, myApp/r and myApp/o. Copy the
database to myApp/g/mumps.dat and put the routines in myApp/r. Then,
assuming that the USB flash drive is mounted as /mnt/sda1, to run the
application, start a shell, and execute the command sudo
/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --run /mnt/sda1/myApp LAB^ROUTINE where
LAB^ROUTINE is the initial entry point for your application.
I realize that a live DVD is a large download. If you donate US$ 25 or
more to WorldVistA (http://worldvista.org) - a registered non-profit
charitable organization in the US, so you may be able to take a
deduction against your taxes - I will burn and mail you a DVD (anywhere
on the planet that I can airmail to from the United States).
The creation of OpenVistA VivA releases are my own personal work, and
your dissatisfaction with them, if any, should not reflect in any way on
my employer, Fidelity Information Services, Inc. OpenVistA VivA
releases come with no warranty, and you must take full responsibility
for their use.
