[Koha-devel] Re: CD image request

[Benedykt P. Barszcz]

Hi,
here is some feedback on me trying the KohaCD image.
The computer I ran it on was connected to onother via ethernet. 
Kohacd booted properly with many error messages pertaining to 
(probably) some irrelevant kernel modules. I didn't pay 
attention to what was scrolling in front of my eyes so I missed 
the fact to provide an IP. I reacted to what it said about 
pressing some key combination and "space" for root password. I 
did that and typed "finddisk" or something like that. It didn't 
succseed. 
KohaCD worked out of the box, but I missed it! The following day 
I tried once more, and saw that there is a message saying 
something like this: you can access koha at http://192.168.0.48. 
I swear I did not give this IP myself and there is no DNS server 
in the nearest vicinity! KohaCD worked this time. OPAC looked 
good but there was no clear indication what the password for 
intranet is! It is "cat /etc/koha.conf" that will tell you the 
secret. I think users of KohaCD should have a better way to 
discover it.

KohaCD is very good and I think should be perfect for 
presentation.  I would however insist on bundling it with a 
linux distro (Caldera?) with graphical interface, thus 
eliminating the need for another computer to be present for 
presentation. It is absurd to bring two computers to a library 
director to show him/her how nice Koha could be.
