I'm planning to burn CDs for people (about 60) who have
requested them (yes, we still get occasional CD requests),
and was wondering if you might wish to update your stuff
in the 'latest' ISO folder here which is the root from
where we build the ISO.<br>

I'll update the modules and clean off the ridiculously
archaic blobs of whatever.<br>

<div style="">Is your intention for this CD to include
software based off of 1.6.2 or will 1.7 be finished before
that for front-ends to target?</div>

Historically, we've tried to include installers for Mac,
Windows, and Linux. I'm conceding to give up on the Linux
software (on the CD), so we should probably just remove
all of our Linux binary bundles.<br>
<br>
These installers should be configured to allow installing
of modules from the CD. The InstallMgr class supports
installation not just from a remote source, but from a
local path as well. If your installers could add the root
of the CD path as an install source, that would be
excellent.<br>
<br>
We also try to make things run from the CD if possible. I
know BPBible has a 'portable' install for this and some of
our other frontends run find from the CD as well. If
there is a binary you can place somewhere on the CD that,
when double clicked, it can start and find it's modules
from the CD (at least), that would be great. SWORD looks
in the current folder for modules, so if you place your
binary in the root of the CD, it might just magically
work. Otherwise, you could have a subdirectory with your
stuff and include a sword.conf which specifies a datapath
of ../ or something. Just ideas.<br>
<br>
You can download the latest ISO image from here so you can
locally update it and play to test how your stuff works.<br>

When you get it working well, if you could update the
crosswire.org:/home/sword/ftp/pub/sword/iso/latest/ with
your stuff, that would be great. I'm also happy to update
the CD autorun splash screens with anything you'd like.
Not sure how this works on a Mac, but we launch a silly
little windows app with buttons to launch each installer.<br>
<br>
We could also think about instructions to help people burn
this to a thumb drive.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help,<br>
