How to export

Simple Instructions:

Greenstone can export one or more collections to a self-installing CD-ROM for Windows. To do so, Greenstone's "Export to CD-ROM" package must be installed. This is not included by default, so you may need to modify your installation to include it.

To export a collection, open the "File" menu and choose "Export to CD-ROM". A list of Greenstone collections appears; click on any one to see its description. Tick the check boxes of the collections to export. You can enter the CD-ROM's name in the box: this is what will appear in the Start menu when the CD-ROM has been installed. Then click "Export". The process involves copying many files and may take a few minutes.

Upon completion, Greenstone will show the name of a folder containing the exported collections. Use a CD writer to copy its contents to a blank CD-ROM.
