b) On the technical front, what does Koha really need for a full install? For e.g., it probably uses a few dozen Perl modules, which in turn need (a lot?) more dependencies on other Perl modules, etc.? I'd like the tech gurus advice on how to construct the essential "bill of material" for what needs to be assembled to create the distrib. i haven't even begun to look for the answers.
Hi Krishnan My suggestion would be to build a debian based distribution, as the packages for Koha in debian are very very close to finished. So everything Koha needs would be in .deb packages, and it would be as easy as apt-get install koha. So this bill of material has been done for debian already. There are quite a few tools around for building distro's based on debian or ubuntu. I'd suggest looking at one of them. Chris
