[Gnumed-devel] GNUmed download & installation problems

[J Busser]

Hi Guys

Boy, have I been having an unhappy time!

1. http://www.localhost1.de/knoppix/MEDICA_KANOTIX.ISO is now a link  
farm. I cannot find the iso, just a bunch of "sponsored links" and  
then on the left page navbar for "Related searches" where, if you  
click "Gnumed", gives "Sponsored listings for Gnumed".

2. I tried both the (Windows) Portable apps with the  
GnumedPortableClient, and also tried the regular clients under  
Windows (both 2.6.x and, after uninstalling 2.6.x from the Start...  
menu, the 2.7.x)... the regular clients after having installed the  
"prerequisites" from the conveniently downloadable bundle.

... in all cases (Portable + regular 2.6.x + 2.7.x) I get only a  
flash of a screen. Then nothing. I can try another machine later but  
I am not optimistic.

... I will try getting Debian 4.0 Etch installed as a vm on my Mac  
(under Parallels) but will first have to sort out some issues with  
the Debian vm in one case having trouble establishing network  
connectivity and in another case failing apt-get install on account  
of insisting that I provide a CD by a name to which I cannot find any  
reference on any Debian site and which I am not sure ought to be  
necessary. I would not have thought it a /sources problem because the  
same vm was able to run apt-get update, unless it is a difference  
between what Debian needs and where Debian looks, when it is a  
package missing from the base Debian installation.
