I have those.

This is an oversimplification no? It's second nature for you since you've
been doing it for so long, but not for everyone else. I did some guessing
and have been running boostrap scripts with different .conf files for a
while now.

I get an error like "Cannot boostrap services". That is not helpful at all. 
There's not even a shred of indication of what went wrong. There's no
README or INSTALL that I can read to look for the bootstrap process or
telling me how should the pg_hba.conf setup (how is it anyways, mine has
local access on trust right now (laptop))?

Oh and it tells me "Look at the log file" but WHERE is the log file? 
I can't seem to find it. I even went through the code for gmLog and passed
a --log-file on the command line, to no avail. And I also went through the
code in bootstrap-gm_db_system.py.

With the bootstrap-public_db.conf I get the error after the password. 

I'm not new to open source development, python, postgresql. I looked at 
the docs more than once, and I'm frustrated. Making the entry barrier so 
high for new developers won't help gnumed at all.

Excuse my tone, please.

Thanks,

-Roberto

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you.
