Thanks for the list of live CDs, Mark. I'll look at them. Apropos your comments. It is not possible for paths to the database to be defined a priori, and this is prompted for, but everything else is indeed predefined. Your comments make me wonder whether you had a chance to try the OpenVistA VivA live CD/DVD the way it was intended to be used:
1. Start a shell. 2. Mount the r/w storage (e.g., mount /mnt/sda1 if it is a USB flash drive that is mapped as /dev/sda1). 3. Execute /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista The last is a script that will prompt you (a) whether you want to install the database (copy from the zipped copy) or run an existing database, and (b) the location of that database. Please let me know your comments if you try it this way. The intent is that the *only* "hard" part of getting to VistA is knowing where the r/w storage is for the database. (Of course, once you get to VistA, the fun begins...) -- Bhaskar On Wed, 2005-08-31 at 12:10 -0500, Mark Dalton wrote: > > > I will take a look at the GT.MAcculturation0.3.iso (I am downloading > it now). > > I just want to help make it work out of the box without any changes. > > For starting points ideally I think you would want to be able to run > directly off the CD or a > installed tar-ball, without any changes. > - Paths are all defined and working or a 'setup' script is there > to ask and define > needed variables.
