Dear All, Its my pleasure to share experience with koha over the internet in the form of Koha live DVD (3.8.9) which is almost similar to the Koha which has been implemented at IIT Roorkee, Saharanpur Campus. DVD provides many customizations which can convert your Koha OPAC into library website also. Therefore you can use this live DVD for automation and creation of your Library website in a single server. Some useful display and searching features has been added, so simply you need to edit the text and links given in the codes in koha "GLOBAL SYSTEM PREFERENCES' option or you can delete all to add your own codes. There are several unique features of this DVD like direct backup in your pen drive, search by acc.number in home page, display of acc. number in detailed display etc. Please feel free to contact for any assistance/suggestions. You may also refer other koha live dvd made by Mr. Vimal Kumar (http://vimalkumar.org/koha). Its my moral responsibility to share my experiences with community as i achieved the same due to sharing of knowledge. The detail documents are downloadable from the website.I am thankful to the Librarian,Dy. Librarian, other staffs of IITR, Professor In-Charge SRE Campus Library, and users of Library who appreciated a lot for the whole work.

How many Entries of data does it takes sir
Unlimited
Thanku very much sir ji But sir isme server ko v alag se banana padega
Nahi aisa kuch nahi hai, sab DVD me hai, aap instruction ko follow kijiye sab ho jayega, agar aapke pass koi dusra computer hai to usme koha ke liye use kijiye, wo jada accha rahega.
Sir,
To install KOHA do I need the background knowledge or expertise in any of the softwares? I would like to further add - I have seen your video. The voice is not quite clear. It would be useful for all of us if the same can be uploaded with a better/clearer voice
Thanks
No once you will install this dvd in machine after that automatically you will start learning more things, so you just install and see how various options of the koha can be used.
I have made video in home roughly just to show installation steps so voice is not clear, next time i will try to make best.
Thx.
Dear Sir,
Do you have any window base KOHA Software?
Koha new versions did not supported windows but i recommended you to use Ubuntu based these Livd DVD, its easy than windows once you install the things you need not to do anything on installation machine. Just you have to use the Koha features without much thinking about Operating system.
Sir, thank you for the information.
I would like to mention one thing about the Live DVD.( It is a complete bootable computer operating system which runs in the computer's memory, rather than loading from the hard disk drive. It allows users to experience and evaluate an OS and its programs without installing it or making any changes to the existing operating system on the computer.)
So we can boot the live DVD without installing and check out Koha. If we don't want it we could just restart our PC and remove the DVD and go back to our previous Operating system.
Dear Viswanathan,
You have very well described the first option which we are getting after booting the Live DVD and if we will choose third option the whole things will be installed in your machine so that it can boot from your hard disk also.
Sir,
i mentioned about the live option because many dont have knowledge of Linux\ubuntu, it will be of great help to them to learn koha using this option. they wont have to format or customize their harddisk to get an idea of koha.
I have successfully tried three options of running koha on my PC.
1. by using it as live dvd.
2. Installing it as my only Operating system.
3. Installing it as secondary OS along with windows Xp and 7.
Sir,
Can we install koha using the live cd on a server and use it on intranet or internet?
