1) One can access a public PostgreSQL demo server over the 'net
   if we had one.
2) I AM working on scripts that do what you say. After all the
   current procedure is too difficult for the average doctor
   interested in GnuMed/Archive.
3) We could mirror a binary image of an installed database
   onto the RAM disk/local hard disk.
4) It would be vastly useful already to be able to demo the
   frontend.

Unfortunately, there may not be enough time left unless
someone tackles this nearly full-time. I know I can't.
