Andrew, This is tremendous work! Congratulations!!!! > > LiveOIO-1.0.6 provides OIO-1.0.6 with 22 pre-built forms, an example > schedule, and several workflows (patient screening and schizophrenia > study).
I wish there were some of our forms as well, but I am entirely to blame... > Thanks to Tim Churches and Adrian Midgley's strong advocacy, we now have > single-click, database backup and restore of OIO metadata and data via > icons on the Desktop: > > 1) backup (creates /home/knoppix/publicdb.zip) > 2) restore (converts /home/knoppix/publicdb.zip back into publicdb in > PostgreSQL) > 3) saveToUSB (copies publicdb.zip to USB storage device) > 4) readFromUSB (copies publicdb.zip from USB to /home/knoppix). > This means we can create custom demo data and save them to USB storage > device (USB memory sticks are plug-and-play via Knoppix).

It does work in the Hard Drive installation.

True. I am hoping to backup to CDRW media. Once Knoppix supports UDF packet writing this would bw simpler. > An interesting implication is that it is now possible to build OIO > production servers that run entirely from CD-ROM and RAM - with periodic > auto-backup to networked storage or solid state memory, like USB connected > flash drives. This is MOST interesting! OIO must be the only EMR system which can do this! If you may remember I wrote to you in an email of this possiblity when we discovered Knoppix. I have been speaking of this to my colleagues and now it has come true! With RAM being cheap, it maybe possible to use an older PC with lots of RAM as a server with USB or CD backup! This has great implications in the developing countries where buying new computers is very expensive. In my country we can buy 5-7 used Pentium II PCs ( DELL/IBM) for one new one. > Your criticism and comments are sincerely invited. Criticisms will be reserved for the future if things don't work as expected. Now there is only praise and open moutheed wonderment and a few gasps :) Regards and all the best Nandalal -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.
