Bibletime and sword are two parts of the
same program. As you probably have already noticed,
it has enough variety to suit many people.
The libsword program that comes with 5.1.1,
doesn't work with the Bibletime program. A lot of
Ubuntu types were complaining about that. One mentioned
he found it on a Debian repository. This of course, is
what I wanted. However, most of them didn't have it!
The Australian one did. So far I had to get an earlier
version of Kworldclock, to have it. The Debian folks of
all people =-O seem to be rushing things, and Knoppix
followed suit.
Knoppix with either a hard disk (though I'm having trouble
the thumb drives) permanent home file or one on a
thumb drive really makes a quite good system.
I end up using Knoppix quite abit. ---Jim
