This can be confusing but has very little to do with GNUmed. The reason for 
this dialog is that during the installation you are asked to tell the system 
how it can send email. Don't worry about it too much. It will not break 
GNUmed. Most of the time it will be fine to select the option where it talks 
about internet mail server (or something like this).

I will have a look and change it accordingly.

In your case just ignore the sameuser stuff and you can make sense of the 
instructions.

So if you ignore the sameuser stuff it tells you to insert the stuff between 
the two lines.

Actually you can type sudo /etc/init.d/postgres and then tab (twice) to 
autocomplete this for you.

No need to reboot. But rebooting will do the same thing here.

Yes you can bootstrap without changes to pg_hba.conf but you cannot connect to 
it unless you make the changes mentioned above.

Please find /etc/gnumed/gnumed-client.conf and change

#GNUmed Default 

to

GNUmed Default.

Then it will load all the available plugins. We will provide updated config 
files in the next version.

The missing plugins will be there when you change the workplace as shown 
above.

We will get to that later. First you should make it run.
