up I'll be able to do a *nix version, too. They'd also be good content
for a "How do I..." on the wiki.

I think Dave will be explaining it in human language, but here it is in
geek:
cp -a ~/.gramps /media/disk/
HOME=/media/disk gramps
when you plug it into someone else's machine, you have to substitute the
appropriate mount point on that host for the HOME value.
To accommodate visiting relatives running Windows, you might do
cp -a ~/.gramps/* /media/disk/gramps
USERPROFILE=/media/disk gramps
Well, sorry, but that doesn't quite work in Linux -- it almost does,
except for a hardcoded
DATABASE_PATH : '~/.gramps/grampsdb'
in Config/_GrampsConfigKeys.py
<maybe that sh/could be fixed?>
You'll probably want to put Dave's batch file to do the trick on the
actual Windows system. a dos shortcut file might actually allow the same
database to work on Win and Linux. Hmmm, how does one make a shortcut
file on (eg) vfat from linux?
