Yikes, sounds like a perfect way for viral spread! :) I am not sure about the idea of running local openmrs on a USB. I think the approach is similar to what the mobile OpenMRS community is doing by having offline storage on the cell phones. Having either an xform or caseXML file on the USB drive that can be read into a host OpenMRS instance makes a lot of sense. Like a CCD or XML offline patient record. I don't think you will want to run the entire OpenMRS application off the USB stick, though. What about a thinner client? You can also look at Tom Routen's Android OpenMRS work...
Just a quick thought... Andy -------------------- Andrew S.
