This looks fantastic, Lars. Thanks for putting in the hard yards.
Things brings Koha (close to) an out of the box install with no
fiddling about.

I would suggest we eventually test this on Debian etch. Prolly
minors differences will be encountered, nothing major.

One thing we do with our own installs is forgo port 8080 for
the Staff client. Instead, we install to virtual hosts, one for
OPAC and one for Staff. AFAIK, this only means a change to two
files: ports.conf and default-Koha.conf (i.e. the apache config
for Koha).

Thanks again for the good work.


cheers
