[...] add a note to the online docs stating they do not apply to koha 2.0.0 or newer.
Bug 620.
Suggestion: check for errors during installer operations.
I try. If you can narrow down the particular uncaught error, I'll try to catch it.
Suggestion: list the IRC channel somewhere on the main site; it was buried near the last hit on google.
It's on http://www.koha.org/about/ -- where else would you like it?
Suggestion: notify user that installer must be run as root. Or, add non-root installation capability. Or, abort install when writing to /etc fails, and explain why to the user.
It notifies the user in the opening "Welcome to the Koha installer" message. I'll improve the wording. I agree that it should check that it can write to /etc, so I've added a check which will appear in 2.0.1. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing "To be English is not to be baneful / To be standing by the flag not feeling shameful / Racist or partial..."
