Re: [Gramps-users] Installing Gramps on the ASUS Eee PC 4G

[Laura M. <bb...@ho...>]

I have a couple of questions. First, I have ordered this well-reviewed little machine but don't have it yet. When I do receive it, I want to follow the instructions below and install GRAMPS on it.

I am currently running GRAMPS 2.2.9-1 in Ubuntu 7.04. I want to make sure I export my current files correctly for use with my new machine. Am I understanding correctly that I export as an .xml file? It sounds as if it was pure luck I was able to export/import using .grdb before...I don't want to press my luck this time.

Also, if I take the Eee to the library or something for research, will I then have a problem exporting from it and putting info on this machine? I'll be running two different versions of GRAMPS.

BTW, I have no media files if that makes a difference.

Thank you!
Laura
