RE: [Koha-devel] request bulkmarcimport assistance

[Bruffey, Mark]

I did not choose to enable SELinux when I installed FC3, so I think I
can get around that issue. However, I suppose I could make a soft link
from /var/lib/mysql/csl and /var/lib/mysql/cslr to the spot where I
actually want the data (for the curious, I want it on a different
physical drive--space issues). This still leaves me hoping
bulkmarcimport.pl will actually put the data in the correct place. I'll
try Stephen's suggestions. Mark

[Apologies for my previous email reply syntax deviations.]
