I am about to issue a CD containing a Greenstone collection, and I had a friend have a look at it to check that he could install it easily on his machine. One of his comments back to me was: "The program itself is dangerous -- it hosts a local HTTP server on the machine that is then accessible by anyone, not just the user/owner of the program." So I would recommend that people disconnect from the internet after launching the program." I know that quite a few getting a CD will have broadband / cable internet connection - do I need to tell them to disconnect from the internet when using Greenstone? - or is there something I should be doing when writing the programme and collection to the CD?
