It's amazing. It simplay works. Just download the files above. Start synaptic 
if you are used to GUI and install gnumed-client.

It will pick up all necessary files automagically (Thanks Andreas). Then press 
ALT+F2 and enter 'gnumed'. There simply cannot be any easier way to do this. 
It will show the login dialog and connect to the public database.

It amazes me. And best of all. Since VMWARE images are single files I can 
aleays zip it up and send you a completely configured Debian system with the 
latest code. Takes 5 minutes. A completely preconfigured developer 
workstation.

Great for grassroot marketing as well. Just pop the CD into a drive and show 
off GNUmed without installing anything.
