If this can be added to the documentation it may save some work, I have decided to use Debian for My Koha ionstallation, to many problems with redhaT. Gerry Installing Koha 2.0RC4 On Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 "stable" (woody) Joshua Ferraro Several of Perl's extended module libraries are available via the Debian packaging system. We can install those using the *apt-get* utility as follows: koha:/# apt-get install libdbi-perl koha:/# apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl koha:/# apt-get install libdate-manip-perl koha:/# apt-get install libhtml-template-perl koha:/# apt-get install libmail-sendmail-perl /Must add/ / koha:/# apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev/ / Without the development libraries there is a problem installing the NET::LDAP module, it cannot find the mysql_config file/ Now of course the real question is how to install Debian for the inexperienced. Since I have given up on the Redhat kernal and decided to go full open source with Debian I noticed that one can install Knoppix running from the CDROM and then do a harddrive install which give three choices one of which is Debian installation, this solves the configuration problems often associated with drivers and installing Debian the usual way. I will refine this document with my installation experiences and see about posting at the docs site.
