Can Koha run on a CD? I've been to your website and I am impressed with the product--but to be frank, I am not at all techie and I cannot tell from the website if it could be transferred to a CD. I imagine that I would want to create various indices--similar to a library catalog: AU, TI, DATE, KW, even SH.
I am not sure whether it's what is wanted here, but TTLLP wants to produce a bootable koha CD, probably based on Morphix. It would be put in the CD drive, the computer restarted and then you have a machine with a working koha system on the screen in front of you, all running from the CD without any need for installation. The project is waiting for koha v2.0 and either spare staff time or a customer that wants it. I suspect that Rachele is looking for a multiplatform executable so that users of the CD can just run it and enter search terms from their normal login. koha probably isn't suitable for that. Maybe something based upon SWISH-E would be better suited. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ gopher://g.towers.org.uk/ slef@jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/
