Re: [Health] GNU Health Live CD 1.0.14 released

[Edgar Hagenbichler]

Hello Cecilia,
hello Axel,
thanks a lot for your hints and explanations!

I just want to give a short update about my activities,
especially because I managed to access the GNU Health database with PGAdmin3 
today
which was one of my near goals.

Unfortunately I could not install the Live CD 1.0.14, although I deactivated 
UEFI and secure boot.
Nevertheless GNU Health worked again with OpenSuse 13.1., but it took me a long 
time. So again a one-click-installation that works also on newer computers 
would be great, but I understand that it is not easy!

The next goal is updating ICD-10 with the Austrian version, I will report my 
problems and (hopefully) successes to the list!

All the best,
Edgar
