Yes, you will. There is a tool called MySQL Query Browser that you can use to back up your 2.2.9 database. Then, here's what you have to do: 1. Recreate the 2.2.9 database on the Linux system, using the backup file that you transferred like so: mysql -u root -p koha < backup.sql (where koha is the name of your database and backup.sql is the backup file) 2. Install Koha 3.0.0 on the Linux system 3. Then follow this guide: http://wiki.koha**.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30 -- Jesse Weaver Software Developer, LibLime
