Dear Mark Thanks for the response. I have taken note of the suggestions you have put forward. I have been used to using Koha 3.2 LiveCD which can install very easily on a 32bit machine. Now when | check the net I can only see this Koha Livecd_325_ubuntu_1010.x64.r8.iso. Can this be a good alternative and which platform is it best suited?
I would very much prefer an offline installation because of our slow speed communication lines. Kind regards.
