That's correct, the installation how-to I linked to is Ubuntu-specific. Any step-by-step instructions must be specific :) I would say it's still useful for Debian-based installations, because the systems are really very close. Regarding generic materials for an IR, the SUNScholar wiki does provide even generic IR advice. The DSpace installation is just one part of it I linked to because I thought that's what you were interested in. http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Practical_guidelines_for_starting_an_institutional_repository_(IR) If you feel you still need something different, feel free to suggest what it should be. If you want, you could create a whole course, possibly reusing other existing parts of documentation. It could also be in English so that others can expand it and you could translate just that course. It's up to what you need, really. You could work on the DSpace wiki, which is editable after registration. You could even improve the official documentation (which is in a separate namespace on the wiki), all you need to do is send us your wiki username and ask for access.
