I played a bit today with instructions for Ubuntu and it seems to me that indexdata reorganized their ftp site a bit, so these instructions may need an update: Install yaz Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released Through some experiments I succeeded with this: deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/debian sarge main deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/debian sarge main If this appears right, then maybe someone would be willing to update the documentation for others to follow.

Did anyone have luck installing Koha on Ubuntu? I tried installing Koha 2.2.9 on my Ubuntu box (8.4) few weeks ago but I got stuck on Yaz libraries. I am wondering here if I should install Debian instead... Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry!

It's worth finding out what version of Koha it is. The most recent version of Koha, 3.0, has a much better search tool, especially when the Zebra search server is used.
You definitely need to use Koha 3 (in Zebra mode) to handle correctly extended characters. Thanks to Zebra, Koha 3, which is UNICODE compliant, can index any kind of characters. If default Koha Zebra configuration doesn't feet your needs (it is certainly the case), you can easily tweak it: http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/ Take a look specifically on that: http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/doc/character-map-files.tkl -- Frédéric DEMIANS http://www.tamil.fr/u/fdemians.html _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
