CD2 - extra software for Absolute


released with Absolute 12.1.07
Install applications separately after Absolute
compatible with Absolute and Slackware 12 and above. most CD2 12.x versions are compatible with the update versions of Absolute -- but some apps are updated, others added or removed...

One important note, most of the folders containing applications, (such as bibletime and inkscape) require the dependencies included in the folder with them. So if you want to install inkscape, install all the packages in its folder.

WPClipart CD (install package) for Absolute Linux
This is the entire wpclipart collection as of Friday, 02/01/2008, along with the viewer/editor (wpclipper -- which is not necessary, but very handy.) WPClipart is developed on Absolute Linux, BTW. Wpclipper is a python/gtk application that shows thumbnails, does some quickie editing (for color, rotation, etc) and can "copy to clipboard" for pasting into AbiWord, OpenOffice and others. ... Like I said, very handy.

The menu item for wpclipart is in the icewm menu, and will show up upon restarting ice after installing the package. The collection includes 18,872 PNG images in 48 categories. You can search it on the web via the wpclipart.com site.

WPClipart packages are hosted on Ibiblio http://www.ibiblio.org/abiclipart/downloads/wpclipart-5.4-noarch-1AL.tgz
