     I was afraid of that.

     It is my first installation of Koha and it's my first substantive use
of a Linux environment. In the last several months, I have installed Koha
on virtual boxes through the package installer. The installation to run, of
course, but I can't quite figure out how to copy it from one Linux
environment to another. That's the trouble when one is used to strickly
GUIs over terminals, I suppose.

     Again from Franz Dietrich:

hope that helps.

    Yes, it does. Many thanks.
