[Koha] koha-3.02.00-alpha2 - Debian Lenny installation, a few problems/questions

[Ville Huhtala]

Hello
Let me introduce myself. I'am Ville Huhtala, a librarian and a returning 
subscriber to Koha mailing list from a few years back. I'm thinking of 
cataloguing my personal collection so that I don't accidentally 
repurchase the books or movies I already own! Koha may be a little 
excessive for my needs, but once I have bibliographic data in marc 
format it can be reused time and again.

Now, about installation. I have used included INSTALL.debian-lenny 
installation guide. Numbered sections below are from there.

1.6 Install Perl dependencies
-----
PDF::API2::Simple installation using CPAN don't work. I got it working 
using debian package libmodule-install-perl, as discussed here:
http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2010-March/023253.html


2.2 Create the Koha database
-----
mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to 
'<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';

Shouldn't <kohadatabaseuser> be kohaadmin? Is there a need for an 
another Koha mysql user?

In section 3 (Run the Koha installer) one of questions is 'Please 
specify the user that owns the database to be used by Koha [kohaadmin]'

If <kohadatabaseuser> is not kohaadmin, then section 6 (Run the Web 
Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings) and 
5.1.2 (Zebra Indexer) will fail.


3. Run the Koha installer

Warnings and one failed test - can they be ignored?
