I'm not sure what all this means.  Are you saying that you have a script
that copies the correct fonts the X11 fonts directory and does a
mkfontdir on the directory?  Or something else?  In anycase, a
HOWTO.linuxfonts would be excellent! :)

Yes.  Feel free to place a README.bibletime or anything else on the CD
anywhere you think it fits.  I'm going to make the HOWTO directory after
sending this email.  please everyone upload, or email to someone that
can upload, any howtos you feel are helpful.

Joachim,
	No, don't spend expensive online time doing stuff that is free for us
to do.  I just don't know what works and what doesn't and what should be
on the CD for bibletime.  I just need you (or someone) to build a new
bibletimebase (just a tar file of all the files required for bibletime)
and replace the bibletimebase file that is on a LOCAL copy of the CD
(even an older copy of the CD) and try it out and be sure everything is
installed correctly and works (on a clean box).  If it works, just let
me know and I will put the file on the CD.  About the other stuff:  just
give me an email with links to the appropriate files on your site that
you want included on the CD eg.

http://www.bibletime.de/Download/0.23/bibletime-0.23-1.i386.rpm ->
/PACKAGES/RPMS/bibletime-0.23-1.i386.rpm
http://www.bibletime.de/private/README -> /README.bibletime

etc...


> Perhaps a good idea to put the sources bibletime-0.3 in the BETA directory ? If yes, I'll upload a source package to www.bibletime.de .

YES!  You guys are doing some cool stuff.  Let's get people interested.

Great!

Drag.  Have you tried running it from a shell and seeing if you get any
more useful information?

I will put the static link of InstallMgr on the CD soon.  Since it seems
your distro includes gcc and not egcs, you probably won't be able to
build the VCL libs.  I've placed a link to a precompiled libVCL.a
It's about 530K gzipped:

ftp://ftp.crosswire.org/pub/misc/libVCL.a.gz

maybe you could build a static compile of installmgr and try it on your
SUSE box.

Good deal!

	Thanks for your willingness to help!
