head/etc/zebradb/biblios/etc/bib1.att, line 153 :
## Fixed Fields and other special indexes
att 9901			Extent
att 9910			Koha-Auth-Number
# record length according to the leader

I added that when I builded rebuild_zebra.pl, got it from their previous 
location. I don't remember the details. the most important is to be sure 
that the authoritative one are the one in etc/

no idx, but chr maybe. Although I think my chr could be usefull for you 
as well. Look in misc/zebra/sort-string-utf_french.chr

yes and know : the guy who setup Koha don't know wether the library want 
to use MARC21 or UNIMARC.
+ the installer ask no question, of to know which flavour he must choose ?
I'm afraid i'll have to produce a script that check and overwrite that 
after webinstall. Unless you give me a better idea, of course.
