<DIV><B>Subject:</B> Much Assistance is Required.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>To whom it may concern:<BR><BR>I have just finished downloading
the Koha ILS. I downloaded Apache and MySQL (though I have Microsoft Access
which is reputedly much better. So, could I use that in lieu of MySQL?) and they
appear to be functioning under normal parameters (red feather and green
light).<BR><BR>My OS is Microsoft Windows 2000 Pro.<BR><BR>I have read and
re-read your instructions to set up a database on MySQL. It says to enter (for
example) mysqladmin -uroot -ppassword . It makes no mention of where to do this,
though, and I am not sure if I should be replacing the -uroot and -ppassword
with -ucharles -pmango as in my Root is charles and the password is mango. I
don't even know if I should be doing that at all, or if I should hit the enter
button afterwards.<BR><BR>In short, I am rather confused and require much
assistance, indeed.<BR><BR>However, I also realize that you are busy-bodies and
that you may or may not have time to show me how to do this step by step (or, at
least elaborate on the instruction that you gave (which, I must say, appear to
be very good, if only I knew the very basics, which I do not.).).<BR><BR>Before
I sent this E-Mail, I had attempted both an IRC dialogue and to subscribe to
your mailing list, but, I received an odd message: Not called from accepted
referrer . Subsequently, I resorted to this.<BR><BR>I indeed look forward to
your reply.<BR><BR>Sincerely, a hopeful David Litwin.<BR></BODY></HTML>
