koha 1.9.0 is an UNSTABLE version. It works pretty good, but don't use it on production server. If you are courageous, wait for a 2.0RC1 and let's try (with a lot of care and backups !) If you want to be prudent, install a 1.2.x. When the definivite 2.0 will be out, it will contain and upgrading tool 1.2.x => 2.0. This tool already exist, but is untested in 1.9.0 (so, does not work probably :-) ) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Upgrading from a 1.2.x installation will be supported before 2.0.0 is released. Steve.
