[Matthias Petz]

Hi Bernhard,

thank your for the fast and precise answers. Perhaps you can tell me a
little bit more.

Is the chroot an option when compiling from source or installing from
binaries?
Or will chroot be set when firing up kolab?

So shutting down will prevent troubles when installing.
NFS and Samba Authentification with LDAP could be possible with some
patchwork,
I will play around with it, perhaps I can get it done and build a tutorial
for this.

Backup of the really important files, mails and configs will be made for
sure. I can not really back up anything.
I would need around 500-600 GB capacity. I think I will setup an older
laptop for testing purposes first.
Thank You again.
