Just a quick update on this: Those interested in this can order the CD via VPP also. Here we will post the CD, and you will have to pay the post person. Based on more accurate information on postage costs, the CD is now being offered at Rs. 100 per copy. More information about the Koha Appliance or Live CD is available at this page: http://www.osslabs.biz/koha_library_management_system/koha-appliance.html. Thanks, Savitra ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: savitra sirohi <savitra.sirohi@osslabs.biz> Date: Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 3:38 PM Subject: Koha v 3.0 Appliance or Live CD To: lis-forum <lis-forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>, salis_info <salis_info@yahoogroups.com>, MANLIBNET-india@yahoogroups.com, iatlis <iatlis@yahoogroups.com> All, A big barrier to evaluation and use of Koha has been the difficult installation process and the need for some Linux expertise. We have developed a software appliance (or Live CD) for Koha v 3.0, that removes this barrier. The CD can be used in several ways: - to try Koha directly from the CD - to test if your hardware is compatible with Linux/Koha - to install on your machine The appliance is built on openSUSE Linux 11.2 and Koha v 3.02. The appliance includes a full featured and ready to run Koha, including: - zebra search server - email notices - fines calculation and more.. User manuals and other resources are also packaged in the CD. We will offer free but limited support via a mailing list: koha-appliance-osslabs@googlegroups.com. Those interested in the appliance can order a copy on our website, you will need to pay postage costs only. More information on this appliance is available here: http://www.osslabs.biz/koha_library_management_system/koha-appliance.html.
