[Koha] Koha for our office library

Thu Apr 19 23:22:23 NZST 2018

Hi Raimund,

There is a koha-devel list, but that's fine.
Keep trying with kohadevbox, it's the recommended way to give Koha a try
(especially if you want to hack it).
The message is explicit: "You don't have enough free space"
Do you have enough disk space on your host?

Regards,
Jonathan
