I see.

Well with the new informaiton that Matthias provided, it now even seems 
less likely that the GTK installer might lead to anything usefull, in 
the foreseeable future.

But we still have a couple of options open to us. Libranet as you 
mentioned (although there are still many questions around it) and also 
the Qt wrapper idea, which seems to be cool, but in my opinion needs 
some real work to be something decent.

Arash, just for the time being, please don't limit us to these few 
choices (Libranet and Knoppix). There are still plenty of distros out 
there (I am downloading one or two right now) and they might have 
something usefull. 


Cheers
