Yes I did this from the latest directory I will say that my system Is kind of 
hacked right now I added kde 2.1 to mandrake 7.2 distro and some things are a 
little funny. But I don't want to goto 8.0beta yet.

By the way I tried the cd I made from the latest directory which I downloaded 
just a few nights ago on mandrake8.0 beta and it worked just fine. So it is 
probably something with my machine. 

howeve on 8.0beta the static bibletime still has messed up icons but 
otherwise seems to work and gnomesword crashed the whole system completely. 
The next thing I saw was a bios boot screen for the video card.

Mandrake8.0 is using the newer glibc I think its 2.2 so I will need to 
recompile the rpm's for it. I will also try to compile them static. So that 
they should be backwards compatible with older systems.

I'll try to get gnomesword as a static also. For now the rpm's should work 
accept on mandrake 8.0

also I need to update the mandrake rpm's to use the mandrake menu's.
