and from the source page it's not that much to config,compile and install. I don't know anything about Berly because I think you need gnome and i really don't need that shit anyways. the only thing is start with the core .tar and when configuring it should tell you want else you need.

hopes that helps.

Gnome not required. I've been running it with KDE for a while.

I've now seen videos of it working in KDE, Gnome, and Xfce

I am confused, one minutes you want to install it on Ark, then Ubuntu, then back to Ark. and your saying something about how it's like another distro? I can give you this bit of information it may confuse you and me more.

if you want to do multiple distro, and have all the same dependences and around the same version you could do "./configure --prefix=/a/ramdom/dir" then all those files in dir just cp them to your root on all of your distros. I've done it a few times between fedore and ubuntu, doesn't seem to have problems.

They have a few guides there, including slackware. I think that they even have auto-install scripts for a lot of the distros. I know they have one for Ubuntu. I've done that a while back.

and i know im confusing


what i was saying though was i want to be able to put it on any ditro i choose and if you have advice for doing it

Huh? You want to compile it from source? The installation is going to be a little different for every distro depending on the way you want to do it. But, yeah, you can compile it from source if that's what you want. I am sure that they have some kind of a guide to building it/the dependencies. It's probably included in the tarballs themselves.

[Avatar/Oroborus]

well what pther way is there to do it i know i could yum it or cvs or something but i see the tarballs and wonder which ones i need to have in order to install it on a computer with out a internet connection

Developer info on the bottom. It might be useful?

I think that you need all the beryl-* tarballs and emerald is the default window decorator for beryl. Aquamarine is the decorator for KDE. I am not sure what heliodor is for.

O, k. lets make this simply

download
http://releases.bery...e-0.2.1.tar.bz2
save to $HOME
then
tar jxf beryl-core-0.2.1.tar.bz2
then
cd beryl-core-0.2.1
then
./configure
if there is a problem then find it (sorry you may be on your own here.)
then
make
then
sudo make install

Now, let me try to make this clear, as of right now, a person like yourself that wants to use linux really needs to use a really good big package basic distro. like ubuntu or fedora (suse is really good from what i hear). don't be ashamed, i use one because i'm a lazy fuck. you need one because you're special. well hell i'm special too. keep trying little one.

lol im smarter then most think i grasp abstract ideas faster then just normal ones like 2+2 tokk me forever but i can ricite pi to well pi = 3.14159265358976232when i was 5. i have great memory i guess and i have great processing abilities but just this other stuff like the cal command which just print out a calander took me awhile but learning how to configure grub and even rewrite it to auto detect other partitions was easy i have a high iq just never mind im tired of explaining what i can and cannot do on here i know me and what i can do you assume to know me but honestly i have fedora and even have ark and ubuntu on some of my computer (i have 5) so whatever but thanks for your help

2+2=4

So, you don't have knowledge of the English language?

So, you don't have knowledge of the English language?

This was discussed in the other thread.

But seriously, 2+2?

[Avatar/Oroborus]

well to me 2+2 was something hard i thought about it to much so two + two became 6 and 2 + two became 5 it also became and this is hard to explain


01234 so it's 5 but 4 and it just threw my head into a loop but pi is constant never changing never having any otherthing to consider

and no im illiterate when it comes to the english language when grammar comes in, im learning but its hard

Could you elaborate more on the 2+2 thing. I am just asking you out of pure interest, nothing against you.
I don't understand how 2+2 = 6? But please explain, that would be interesting.

[arewhyainn]

right.......

[Avatar/Oroborus]

one = 3
two = 3
three = 5
four = 4
five = 4
six = 3
seven = 5


you take the number of letters used to spell the number and add them together

this is a perfect example of how abstract i think even at a young age i tell most people everything you think of once in that same time i think of it three times from three different prespectives
