<DIV>I have just finished downloading the Koha ILS. I downloaded Apache
and<BR>MySQL (though I have Microsoft Access which is reputedly much
better.<BR>So, could I use that in lieu of MySQL?) and they appear to
be<BR>functioning under normal parameters (red feather and green
light).<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>MS Access is a good beginning Database. It will do
fine for up to 25,000 items but after this it is seriously slow. I don't think,
from what I've read, Access is supported in any way by koha. Access is
propriotry software and the person who made the suggestion that it is better, is
but a one eyed Microsoft fan. It's easier to program but has major limitations.
(I can program Access but haven't a clue where to start on MySQL
yet)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You probably need to be at the DOS prompt for the
setup. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for the rest of your questions, sorry,
Can't help yet, I'm going to be moving down the path of installing soon,
but on a Linux server.</FONT></DIV>
