New Release of DSpace, Koha Drupal Lib Live CD Version 1.4
Dear all,
If the synaptic “reload” does not work try changing repositories links to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu instead of http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and
then search and install any other software required.lUbuntu operating system (Lightweight Operating System) is chosen considering requirements from libraries where libraries have low configuration desktops in their libraries but
still wish to initiate their library web sites, complete library automation as well as wish to create digital libraries.Please follow proper installation steps to install livecd if you wish to have dual boot i.e. windows as well as linux installation on your machines.
If you are installing livecd on a machine which is running under proxy and if you are unable to browse Internet then on every boot you will have to manually set current date and time.
To set current date and time run the following command on every boot to set systems current date and time.root@localhost:date -s "09 MAY 2013 21:43:00"
Please change current date and time as above so that machines behind proxies can run Internet successfully.
We would greatly appreciate your valuable feedback. Please write to dlrg@drtc.isibang.ac.in for any comments/suggestions.reg

We wish to inform about the new release of LibLiveCD version 1.4. The current version of CD is made available on
LibLiveCD contains lUbuntu 12.04 LTS, DSpace-3.1, Koha-3.10.4 & Drupal-7.20.
The main reason for bringing out new version of liblivecd is, Koha is installed through ubuntu packages which will allow users to upgrade Koha with just two commands such as "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade". The web installation part of Koha is as well pre configured in the CD. Koha can directly be run by logging into 'kohaadmin' once the installation of CD is carried out. There is no need to run web installation part now.
Along with DSpace, Koha & Drupal the CD also contains following server related software pre installed and pre configured such as:-
Apache2 Web Server, OpenSSH Server, VSFTP Server, MySQL Server, PostGreSQL Server, Dovecot/Exim4 Mail Server, SquirrelMail Web Mail Client and Minimum desktop environment.
To input multilingual data in DSpace/Koha, IBUS input method is installed on the CD. Abiword for editing/reading word documents, gnumeric for using spread sheets, vim/gedit for text editing and epdfview/Foxit for reading PDF files.
Openoffice/Libreoffice and multimedia related software are excluded from the CD and these can easily be installed by running "System Tools-Synaptic Package Manager".
