I don't know.  I've not managed it yet.  I have a running koha 3.0,
but it doesn't seem to work well enough to test fully, even.  I'm not
sure if it's bugs in koha or my installation.  This is part of the
problem delaying the 3.0 installer.

The installation process I followed was:

1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
  (see http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/~mjr/koha-installer/ and the
   packages in http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/~mjr/ )
2. update config files
  (see misc/koha.xml and misc/koha.conf and misc/zebra, but we
   have to write koha-httpd.conf - or maybe koha-httpd.conf.PL -
   I plan to write that this week.)
3. create database, user for koha
4. start Zebra
5. Run Web Installer to create database and configure settings

I've cut some detail because I think most of it needs updating.

Hope that helps,
