FIrst, Welcome. We can use anybody and everybody who wants to help, but your skills would be a particularly welcome addition to our group. I hope you will be able to join us in Boston and really get your feet wet.
I am curious what manual you are using and what version of VistA you are installing. If it is the one from he HUI site, there is a newer edition of OpenVistA with the initial installation of GTM and directory configuration, etc, done for you on SourceForge. I would be happy to call you and discuss the various versions, etc., so you will know what will work best for you. Kevin also has an installation XML file that would probably work on a system configured like the ones on Sourcforge. The likely reason it did not work on mine is because I had it set up differently, more like the original Hui project, but not quite the same. I would think the closest thing to a collection of the various documents we have in the various stages is on Kevin's OpenVistA site at http://www.geocities.com/kdtop3/ In addition, there is a lot of information on the Hardhats site at www.Hardhats.org. The installation document there applies to GTM on Linux installations as well as Cache installations after about step 31 or so. The site is a goldmine of other information that you will enjoy exploring. Documentation is something we really need, and the suggestion that we write a book for Riley to publish is not a new one. We would like to do it, but more worker bees are needed before something like that will happen. Unfortunately, one of our best contributors for documentation, Fil Beza, just died. He was working on some that I doubt we will ever see. On Thursday 03 March 2005 02:40 am, Mark Street wrote: > Hello, > > I have been following the list over the past month or so.
