[Koha-devel] Documentation correction

[Gerry Arthus]

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.

    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.
