Koha 3.2 on Debian Squeeze via GIT

== Notes about Server Hardware ==
The following instructions apply to an installation based on the 64 bit variant of Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) - in debian terminology named "amd64". The instruction might apply almost or completely to a 32 bit Debian version, in debian terminology called "i386". The 64 bit version of debian is called for historical reasons "amd64", because AMD introduced x86 based 64 bit processors beforehand INTEL. Debian "amd64" versions are designed to run both on machines with AMD's and Intel's x86-64-bit processors. Don't confuse "amd64" with "ia64". "ia64" is Debian designed for the seemingly phasing out and rarely used Intel 64 Itanium processors, running for example on Hewlett Packard servers shipped with the operating system HP-UX, marketed as very reliable servers. 
At the time of this writing Debian Squeeze was not yet released and still in "Testing" status.
== Debian Installation ==
* Install Debian from a debian amd64 "businesscard image".
* Select "Expert Install"
* Locales: There's no need for adding "additional locals", even if you plan to install Koha with other languages than english on OPAC and Staff Client. The locals defined during the debian installation apply only to the language used at the servers Shell / Terminal.
* Optional tip: If you have a server running in an inhospitable cold temperatured server room you can ssh for most parts of the installation process to the server. When the screen "Load installer components from CD" shows up, check the box for 
 (X) "network-console: Continue installation remotely using ssh" 
from that list. If you do so, after you have defined the IP address for the server you'll be asked to set up a temporary ssh password, opening immediately a ssh server connection to your server, to be used only temporarily for the rest of the longest parts of the installation process. After you ssh and log in remotely to the server, the debian installer screen appears on the remote computer again. Select again "expert-install". This ssh server setup is not installed permanently to your final debian installation on the servers hard drive.
* When the screen "Software Selection" appears during the installation setup, uncheck all predefined selections and select:
 If you want to have some comfort on the shell prompt:
 (X) Standard system utilities
 If you want to install an ssh server permanently to the servers hard drive check also:
 (X) SSH Server
* Grub issues in Debian Squeeze Testing: If Grub doesn't work correctly with your hardware try to repeat the installation of Grub during the installation process several times until it doesn't show errors.
