btw - why is there problem with open source and binary packages? 
Isn't linux distributing nvidia or ati binary drivers anyway?

Depends a lot on the distro. Many are against it

Kaj, when 0.6.4 is going to be released?

In the coming week, we hope

great

The current weekly build also works

oh, I didn't know, there's a weekly build. I'll try it now.

Kaj, the weekly build is installation cd, do you have some live-cd 
available just to try it?

Yes, follow the Live CD link from our front page. That's 0.6.3, of 
course

Thanks, I was just going to post that. :-) There are a few mentions 
of REBOL in there

We just released Syllable Desktop 0.6.4:

http://syllable.org/story.php?id=269

Here are the highlights:

* A new version of ABrowse. The web browser has been re-written using 
the WebKit engine, which is also the basis of Apples Safari web browser. 
The engine offers excellent standards support and very fast rendering.

    * A new version of Whisper, and the Contact address book is now included.

    * A large number of usability and user interface fixes, largely courtesy 
    of Anthony Morphett.

    * New drivers for the SysKonnect Yukon1 network cards & ACPI CPU 
    management and updated drivers for Radeon, GeForceFX, SiS and Trident 
    video cards, HD Audio, Intel & VIA SATA controllers and Realtek 8169 
    network cards.
    * The usual clutch of bug fixes and enhancements.

I believe Ladislav could use the Yukon driver :-)

dled the Vmware, when installed/run will let you know

Cool

ok ran it and looks better than the others BUT there is no mnt dir 
? I was going to use a console and mount but have no idea how to 
mount a device the os does not see ?does Syllable not have that option 
yet or am I missing some thing :(

and I assume that drag and drop will not working using VmPlayer ? 
Thing I tried with an older version and did not work

/ is the mount dir. :-)

There is no /mnt dir as such. But Linux often uses a /media directory 
as well, for the actual mount points, although they could also be 
anywhere else. Like Unix, mountpoints in Syllable can be made anywhere 
you want them. But the mount utility of the desktop (click right 
in the Media folder) just mounts disks in the root /

You should know that the root directory in Syllable is virtual. It 
is stored in RAM, so it is not persistent across reboots

You mount media from the /dev hierarchy, for example:

mkdir data

mount /dev/disk/ata/hda/1 data

How do you mean, drag and drop with VMPlayer? Integration with Syllable 
drag and drop, so you can drag and drop from the host system into 
Syllable and the other way around? No, such integration has not been 
done

We do have a special VMWare video driver

re:drag and drop, yes that is what I meant, ie drag from a host partition 
to a "virtual" Syllable dir   guess the easiest way to get graphics/sounds 
to Syllable is via email or a web page.The reason for this is to 
test the graphics/sound apps in Syllable but since it comes with 
no sound/video files is the only way to test

on Mandriva right now so will test when i reboot to Windows

You should just be able to mount disks. We mount partitions and USB 
sticks to get at stuff. Syllable supports FAT and can read NTFS and 
Linux ext2 and ext3

Have you tried right-clicking in the background of the Disks folder?

Of course, VMWare is not the ideal environment for testing Syllable 
multimedia

The live CD is now available - that would also be a better environment 
for your testing:

Is there a reason for the syllable group not to be [web-public]?
If it were [web-public], then non-Altme users could read it here:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/aga-groups-index.r?world=r3wp

And you (or anyone) could refer to a previous post via a persistent 
URL.

At the time when I made this group, I didn't want to impose too much 
on the REBOL community here. Do other people think it's a good idea?

Hey, that's not Carl's script anymore. I didn't know the groups were 
fully archived now :-)

Is there a way to link to a group so that you always go to the latest 
post?

I don't think it's an imposition! It'd be a service.
It's my script

Latest post......

The format of the URL is: .....posts=worldnameNNNxMMM  NNN=group-id, 
MMM=post-id. 
Use MMM=0 to mean latest *page* of posts for that group, eg:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/aga-display-posts.r?post=r3wp152x0

Or, from the index page, click the date column [far right] for a 
group -- that takes you to the end too.

That would be cool. Thanks!

I added the web-public key. How long does it take to turn up on the 
site?

Thanks  -- it'll be a couple of hours -- some automated jobs will 
spot the title change and schedule an upload.

Thanks! I'll propose a link from our own front page

Some posts are there already!

Great!

I see it among the groups now :-)

Glad to hear it. Looks like the whole thing is there now.

The link is on our front page now:
