GNUmed will save the digital image (from scanner) into the database and keep 
it in the database. No files will fly around on any harddrive.

On export it will hand the image to a viewer. This viewer is determined by the 
mime type. You might later specify a suitable viewer. this viewer is then 
used to print the image.

Search for a record is an open issue. All images are associated to each unique  
patient. It is important to supply some metadata when you import/index the 
files or else it will be very hard.

In a second step you might want to look for abby finereader ocr software for 
linux which might be used ocr the image and import the text along with the 
image.

We are very much interested in that deployment and are looking forward to your 
findings.

There is a directory missing if you installed through synaptic. I miss

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/GNUmed

so your installation looks incomplete.
