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.

Regards,
