I didn't have any major problems installing Koha 3 on Ubuntu. A combination of these pages was helpful: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=ubuntu_feisty http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=ubuntu_gutsy -----Original Message----- From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz on behalf of Krzysztof Wlodarski Sent: Sun 10/19/2008 12:13 AM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz; Frederic Demians Subject: Re: [Koha] Koha for library with special needs I glanced at the documentation for character map file set, and it seems to be exactly what we need. 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!?
