Hi MJ,

I tried your installer and have some questions/suggestions :

- how to define the directory where I want to install Koha ?

- how to define login/password for mySQL ? (same question for zebra) 
Atm, it seems to be defaulted to kohaadmin / katikoan, which is a MAJOR 
security flaw : I bet that 90% of the setups will be done without 
changing it, thus anyone can connect to librarian interface as 
superlibrarian without any problem ! I think we must at least ask for a 
login/password (something like : perl Makefile.PL --login=XXX 
--password=YYY, otherwise, die with a message.

- I think the installer don't create the mySQL login (kohaadmin / 
katikoan by default), it can't as the root password is unknown from the 
installer. What about adding a --master-login --master-password 
parameter to add the login/password in mySQL ? If we don't do it 
automatically, we should at least warn the users that it's not done ;-)

Note that the webinstaller requires the koha login/password, and only that.

HTH
