[Koha] gripe

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I think what needs to be done, and have mentioned this before is an instal or 
set up script.

I am awaiting these things to be done  before I even attempt to implement 
this system. We also need to be sure that marc 21  is going in as well as 
out.
keep up the good work folks!
