thanks for the encouragement. I will keep a copy of your mail so I will occasionally chance upon it and check whether we have reached that level of functionality yet. We (Andreas Tille of Debian-Med fame, that is) are currently making nice progress with getting GnuMed packaged as debs which makes keeping current your Kno-PEPR (Knoppix Personal Episodic Patient Record) a snap.
