No, but without any instructions in the readme file I could not tell
that.  I will correct the file.

This might be somthing useful to add in the future, but it would require
either supporting reading the information from the crosswire site zip
files, and decompressing them on demand, or a copy of the files in
uncompressed form in a repository at crosswire.

I don't think that when an install manager is available that
installation by RPM is necessary.  If we offer this the rpm's and the
install manager need to put the module files in the same place.  That is
not the case now (with the one RPM i looked at).

Iw would actually work just as well if the entire
sword/installmgr/bibletime package could be installed from a single RPM,
but only including the parts of sword that we actually use.  Then the
KDE intigration could install a menue item somthing like:

K>Applications>Biblestudy>bibletime
K>Applications>Biblestudy>installmgr

For this to work, installmgr will need to know when it is not running as
root and prompt for the root password, the way DrakeConf does.
