<br></blockquote></div><br>Yes, you will. There is a tool called MySQL Query Browser that you can use to back up your 2.2.9 database. Then, here's what you have to do:<br><ol><li>Recreate the 2.2.9 database on the Linux system, using the backup file that you transferred like so: mysql -u root -p koha < backup.sql (where koha is the name of your database and backup.sql is the backup file)</li>
<li>Install Koha 3.0.0 on the Linux system</li><li>Then follow this guide: <a href="http://wiki.koha">http://wiki.koha</a><em></em>.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30</li></ol><br>-- <br>Jesse Weaver<br>Software Developer, LibLime<br>
