Hi I'm really not the best person to answer these questions but I'll do my best - and if you take a look at the manual for 1.2 then you should find a fair bit of information there. Basically the big change in 2.0 is that MARC has been added - all the other bits of Koha should be about the same.
madam, we are not clear with all entries in system parameters such as fine type(in user category)etc....
Do you wish to use fines? I am not sure that there is a proper setup page for fines, although there is a fine table, and koha does know about fines. When you set up a new sort of user, you can say if they get fines or not - but looking at the administration options I think you might need to set your types of fines manually. Fines for HLT are a calculation based on borrower type x book type x length of time overdue I'm pretty sure that there isn't a simple way to setup fines, but I'm ccing this to the developer list in case I'm wrong.
we also wanted to know if the s/w provide an automatic fine calculation mechanism rather than doing it manually.
Yes - if the correct variables are entered into the fine table. FOR EXAMPLE Borrower type = child Fine value = $1 Interval = 7 days So they would get charged a fine of $1 for each 7 day period that they have a book overdue - so after 14 days they would have a fine of $2 OR if you charge a daily rate Borrower type = child Fine value = $.10 Interval = 1 days So after 14 days the fine would be $1.40
and how do you change the password settings for the administrator interface(using httpd authentication)???
Yes I think so
could you help????Hope you don't mind us frequently asking questions...
I'm not the best person to answer some of these questions - I'm not a technical person - but they are good questions. If you join the koha developers mailing list then you get access to the people who *really* know how it works Cheers Rachel
sincerely seema.s

Hi
sir, i had installed koha2.0rc3,but then i couldn't get the manual of the same.So wanted to know if there's a manual for the version released.
I don't think there is a specific manual for each release candidate - and I'm sorry I don't know where the general 2.0 manual is at either - presumably waiting until there is a final version.
IF you have a specific question then feel free to ask on the koha list, or you're welcome to join the developers list, or if you'd like to talk to "real people" then we have an IRC channel - irc.katipo.co.nz:6667 #koha
Hope one of those helps
