[Gnumed-devel] install notes

[Michael Bonert]

Andreas,
I usually read the list... but I haven't kept up-to-date lately.

Any hoo... to address your main points. 
1. I know the way I do stuff is a bit half-baked from the security 
side of things.  Thing is, I don't care 'nuff at this point to figure 
out nuances--especially if I have to spend energy just to get 
stuff working.  

2. I don't think it is realistic to expect that people wade through 
the mail archive to figure-out how the heck one gets things 
working.  

3. At this point I prefer to do things in a generic way
(read: more-or-less distribution independent).

I put together the last email because it goes start 
to finish... and almost gets you there--something it seems hasn't
been done too recently.  Also, I'm sure that a handful of people 
out there have taken a look at GnuMed... tried to install it and 
just gave up.  My guide wasn't written to make things 
rock solid.  It was put together so someone doesn't have to 
wade through 4-5 months of the archive... seeing how the 
install manual is out-of-date.
