Pre Scriptum (As opposed to Post Scriptum):

I am aware that I attempted to send this E-Mail before. However, I do
not thin kthat my E-Mail service was functioning porperly and am
re-sending it to make certain that you have received the letter. I do
appologise if this causes un-due problems, et cetera. I thank you for
your Co-Operation.

To whom it may concern:

I have just finished downloading the Koha ILS. I downloaded Apache and
MySQL (though I have Microsoft Access which is reputedly much better.
So, could I use that in lieu of MySQL?) and they appear to be
functioning under normal parameters (red feather and green light).

My OS is Microsoft Windows 2000 Pro.

I have read and re-read your instructions to set up a database on MySQL.
It says to enter (for example) mysqladmin -uroot -ppassword . It makes
no mention of where to do this, though, and I am not sure if I should be
replacing the -uroot and -ppassword with -ucharles -pmango as in my Root
is charles and the password is mango. I don't even know if I should be
doing that at all, or if I should hit the enter button afterwards.

In short, I am rather confused and require much assistance, indeed.

However, I also realize that you are busy-bodies and that you may or may
not have time to show me how to do this step by step (or, at least
elaborate on the instruction that you gave (which, I must say, appear to
be very good, if only I knew the very basics, which I do not.).).

Before I sent this E-Mail, I had attempted both an IRC dialogue and to
subscribe to your mailing list, but, I received an odd message: Not
called from accepted referrer . Subsequently, I resorted to this.

I indeed look forward to your reply.

Sincerely, a hopeful David Litwin.
