Re: [newbie] Install third-party commercial software
Bibletime is a really great package. It's available on the club in contribs and requires some Sword packages as well, also available on the club in contrib. It works with Sword modules, of which there are tons available. I'll bet you'll be impressed with it. Make sure you have your contribs mirror setup in urpmi, then install it from MCC.

But the Logos Libronix Digital Bible Library ran me several hundred dollars and I use it quite frequently. There is no other comperable bible software even for windows OS. All serious bible software packages I've come across are win compatible and integrated with IE 5 or better. Libronix won't work well without IE6! Won't work with Mac either, as far as i know. Anyone here familiar with Opera browser in a wine-based envirnment? From what I read (from Chris's post) Opera shoud work inplace of IE6. Don't know anything about wine - other than the liquid kind. Opera has three choice: RPM packages type, DEB packages type, and tar.gz, type. Info at: http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=344 Like Elwyn, maybe I'll be forced to run Linux and Windows both. Is it possible to run both OS's side by side on split screens if my Win XP and Mandrake are both on what used to be C:? Thank you all very much. You're a nice bunch. A major, huge help.
