====== Export the GSDL collections to CD/DVD ======
GSDL collections can be exported and write into a CD/DVD, which has a GSDL library included and can run independently on Windows machines. 

=====Output collections=====

Go to the GLI, choose File-"Write CD/DVD image" from the menu. The window "Write CD/DVD image" will pop up and require you to fill in some information.

  * CD/DVD name (Give a name of the CD/DVD) for example: myCollects

  * Two options for launching the library. The default option is "CD/DVD will install some files when used (faster)"

  * All available collections are listed in the "Available collections". Select the collections by clicking the name of the collection. Once a collection is selected, the general information of the collection will be displayed in the "Selected collection's detail"

  * The estimated size of selected collections in total can be seen near the end of the window

  * Click button "Write CD/DVD image" to finish the collections output.

  * The output collections are saved at GSDLhome/tmp/myCollects


=====Write into a CD/DVD=====

Start a CD/DVD recorder software, add the myCollects folder into the CD/DVD, then click the button to burn a CD/DVD.

=====Running exported collections on Windows=====

myCollects/Setup.exe        (if necessary, install some files to speed up the launch)

myCollects/gsdl/server.exe  (directly enter into the library)
