10. Exporting a collection to CD-ROM
To publish a collection on CD-ROM, Greenstone’s Export to CD-ROM export module must be
installed (see above, under “Installing Greenstone”).
1. Launch the Greenstone Librarian Interface if it is not already running.
2. Choose FileWrite CD/DVD image, and in the popup window select the tudor collection
as the collection to export. You can optionally name the CD-ROM; otherwise the default
“collections” is used. Do so now, entering “Tudor collection” in the field for CD/DVD
name; then click <Write CD/DVD image>.
The necessary files for export are written to:
C:\Program Files\Greenstone\tmp\exported_Tudorcollection

You need to use your own computer’s software to write these on to CD-ROM. On
Windows XP this ability is built into the operating system: assuming you have a CD-ROM
or DVD writer insert a blank disk into the drive and drag the contents of
exported_Tudorcollection into the folder that represents the disk.
The result will be a self-installing Greenstone CD-ROM, which starts the installation
process as soon as it is placed in the drive.
