Any links were absent from the "CVS" page and a search at gnumed.org 
for "install" yields only 2 articles [one to Boa Constructor and one to 
an FAQ I am developing]. If they would have turned up using a similar 
search at gnumed.net they are no longer accessible (I do not know if 
searches at gnumed.org will turn up content remaining at gnumed.net).

I had not thought to look in the Development link (I had not started 
out thinking I could 'Develop") for installation instructions. I note 
now that gnumed.org must search only on full words because 
"Installation" had not turned up when I searched how to "install".

I had looked at Documentation but with the emphasis on gnumed's 
suitability "only for developers" at this stage, I looked at the 
Developer documentation and choked on CVS. I had not thought to look 
inside the "User manual" for installation thinking gnumed 'not ready 
yet for users".

I think that the link to the installation instructions will benefit 
from appearing also on the gnumed.org CVS page (done) and in an 
expanded set of FAQs (being done).
