Yes, the new image on the test site has 2 week of fixes and should be
much more useful.  I've now add 2 more downloads: nomods.tar.gz and
nomods.linonly.tar.gz.  The latter contains linux only install files and
is only about 4.5 megs.  You should be able to overlay this on top of a
directory containing your CD files and test.  I don't think I can't get
it much smaller than 4.5 megs.  Hope this is ok.

Also, I'm getting a 'no tips database installed' when I run bibletime
installed from the CD.  Am I missing something in the
bibletimebase.tar.gz file?

Redhat does not link /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 to /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.6 so
most Redhat installs fail to run Bibletime after installation.  I'll try
to make the postinstallation script look for this problem and create the
link if necessary.

Yes!  Anything that may be useful to others writing interfaces with the
library.

	Thanks again.
