Hi Gerry, I'll put this on the list for additions to a Koha _2.2_ on Debian manual ... the document you refer to is mainly for Koha 2.0 installations. There is a document that should be available very soon entitled "Installing Koha 2.2 on Fedora Core" ... it's written and just waiting for some XML markup before it's posted to kohadocs.org. You can see a sneak preview of the document in plain text at http://kados.org/Installing_Koha_2.2_on_Fedora_Core.txt in case you're interested. Thanks for the note, Joshua On Wed, Dec 29, 2004 at 12:37:05PM -0500, Gerry Arthus wrote:

If this can be added to the documentation it may save some work, I have decided to use Debian for My Koha ionstallation, to many problems with redhaT.

Installing Koha 2.0RC4 On Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 "stable" (woody)

Joshua Ferraro

Several of Perl's extended module libraries are available via the Debian packaging system. We can install those using the *apt-get* utility as follows:

koha:/# apt-get install libdbi-perl koha:/# apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl koha:/# apt-get install libdate-manip-perl koha:/# apt-get install libhtml-template-perl koha:/# apt-get install libmail-sendmail-perl

/Must add/

/ koha:/# apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev/

/ Without the development libraries there is a problem installing the NET::LDAP module, it cannot find the mysql_config file/

Now of course the real question is how to install Debian for the inexperienced. Since I have given up on the Redhat kernal and decided to go full open source with Debian I noticed that one can install Knoppix running from the CDROM and then do a harddrive install which give three choices one of which is Debian installation, this solves the configuration problems often associated with drivers and installing Debian the usual way. I will refine this document with my installation experiences and see about posting at the docs site.
