Re: [Health-dev] Current Vanilla Installation

[Gerald Wiese]

Hello again,

I just pushed some changes.


See result:

https://gnuhealth.codeberg.page/testpages/his/techguide/installation/vanilla.html

https://gnuhealth.codeberg.page/testpages/his/appendix/opsystem.html


See commits:

https://codeberg.org/gnuhealth/documentation/commits/branch/test


See issues:

https://codeberg.org/gnuhealth/documentation/issues/43

https://codeberg.org/gnuhealth/his-utils/issues/2


As I asked previously, let's merge docs into main soon? Any complaints 
on those changes?


Best

Gerald
