The future of klik: GPL

[nvgringo]

I haven't seen much going on with this progect. Everyone was so worried about GPL open source. ProBono made that happen then the project seemed to stall. Anything new on the horizon? By the way ProBonnno the link on the KliK site for this forum links to the News area not here. Thought you might like to know.

Just in case you forgot, this was in the other topic (news):

I just tried it, Quanta installs and runs fine. Perhaps the debian mirror was down?

Any chance that the VPL mode (wysiwyg mode) in Quanta will work once KDE 3.2 is running?

I'll do my best. Actually, would be anyone interested in KDE 3.2 as a klik download? I think it would be possible...

If I copy the cd to hard disk using the todisk cheat code (not a debian install), will I still need to use klik to run klik applications? Or will I be able to apt-get them?

Using the cheatcode is just like using it from CDROM. So you'll still have to use klik.

Even if apt-get is possible, the ability to install everything to a directory in the user's home folder has its advantages. Even if apt-get works, can klik still be used if todisk cheat code is used?

Klik could technically be even used with a HD install, though I don't recommend it and I take no responsibility for it.

Actually, it's quite easy to write the klik recipe: First, you have to find out which packages to download (using apt-get). Second, you would have to unpack them. Third, you would have to exit X. Fourth, you would have to set some environment variables like KDEDIRS. Finally, you would have to restart X.

But I agree, let's wait until Knoppix incorporates it officially.

Is it just me or is he describing klik:

You know that is exactly what I was thinking when I read that last night. I think you should drop him a note about stealing other peoples ideas and not giving them credit.

Hi 1ijack,
Klik works only with Konqueror Web Browser so
please use this to install the klik software.

Then by all means use your favorite browser
for everything else.

Sorry, I did not read your post correctly.
You are installing FireFox to use.

Do you run from a CD boot, and what date version
of KNOPPIX do you have?

Best Wishes
