 Feel free to contact me via e-mail to dpavlin@rot13.org if those instructions
 don't work for you.
 
-1. You will need PostgreSQL (for now)
+1. You will need RDBMS (relational database management system) for index
+   files. PostgreSQL and SQLite are tested and supported.
 
    Using any other database is quite easy, and involves editing of
-   dbi_* parameters in isis2xml.conf [global] section (which you want
+   dbi_* parameters in global.conf [global] section (which you want
    to do anyway to specify user and password to connect to database).
 
-   Then, create database:
+   If you use PostgreSQL, you have to first create database:
 
    $ createdb webpac
    CREATE DATABASE
 
+   If using SQLite, just specify file which SQLite will use (in global.conf)
+   like this:
+
+   dbi_dbd=SQLite
+   dbi_dsn=dbname=/data/webpac/index.sqlite
+
    Tables for index(es) will be created automatically on first run. If you
    change data for index often, you might want to drop and re-create database
    to erase tables for indexes which are removed.
 
+   SQLite can be quite faster than PostgreSQL (for reference see SQLite
+   site: http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/speed.html). Since WebPAC doesn't
+   use advanced database facilities of PostgreSQL you would probably be
+   better off with SQLite if you don't have PostgreSQL already installed.
+
+   If you are using SQLite, there is no need to specify dbi_user or dbi_pass.
+   So, just leave them like this:
+
+   dbi_user=""
+   dbi_passwd=""
+
+   If you specify dbi_user and than try to index using different user,
+   you won't be able to write into database.
+
 2. Use CPAN shell to install modules used:
 
    $ sudo cpan

    CPAN shell will also download some more modules to satisfy dependencies.
 
+
    If you plan to use M$ Excel files for import (type=excel), you will need:
 
 	Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
 
+   If you plan to use import from MARC files you will also need
+
+   	MARC::Record
+
+
+2.1 Installation on Debian GNU/Linux
+
+   You will need following packages to get started:
+
+   	perl
+	swish-e
+
+   and all additional packages which are dependencies.
+
+   You also don't have to install all CPAN modules manually. Just use
+   following Debian packages:
+
+	libtext-unaccent-perl
+   	libconfig-inifiles-perl
+	libdbd-pg-perl		or some other DBD driver
+	libdbd-sqlite-perl	like DBD::SQLite
+	libhtml-template-perl
+	libxml-simple-perl
+	libtext-iconv-perl
+	libhtml-parser-perl
+
+   and install following packages by hand from CPAN
+   because they are not part of Debian distribution:
+
+	CGI::Application
+	HTML::FillInForm
+	SWISH::API
+
+   and optionally some of those modules:
+
+   	Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
+	MARC::Record
+
+3. You will need also IsisDB module if you are using ISIS as an import format.
+   Currenlty, this module is available only from development site
+
+	http://svn.rot13.org/
+
+   but, it should be available also through CPAN (meaning that it's stable and
+   tested). So, just try to install IsisDB using cpan first.
+
+   WebPAC doesn't use OpenIsis anymore.
+
+4. Edit global.conf and all2xml.conf to suit your needs. Comments inside
+   those files should help get you started.
+
+5. All perl code will use locale to do sorting. That also include indexes
+   which, while being RDBMS-based, also use perl sorting (because each
+   entry has ordinal number created by perl). So, be sure that LC_COLLATE
+   environment variable is configured for your locale (which also has to
+   be enabled, check dpkg-reconfigure locales if you are using Debian).
