      This is an extension package for the base installation of AmiCygnix.
Everyone, who wants to use AmiCygnix seriously, should install it.
New in 1.7:
-----------
* All binaries are now linked with the revised version of the utilitiy library
"libaos4util".
* The browser "NetSurf" and the included "curl" command are now linked with
the latest version 3.7.3 of the SSL/TLS layer GnuTLS. This fixes problems
with certificates and SSL connections.
Included software:
------------------
* ROX-Filer 2.10
A comfortable file manager with support of multiple windows similar to
Opus 5. Unfortunately the port is not finished yet, but is very useful to
browse your files. The following viewer and player are integrated in
ROX-Filer.
* NetSurf 2.8
A web browser with support of CSS2 and SSL. Javascript isn't supported yet,
but a lot of pages can be displayed and the very good support of SSL is a
big advantage.
* Leafpad 0.8.18.1
A simple text editor similar to "Notepad". Supports UTF-8 and other en-
codings.
* GPicView 0.2.5
A simple picture viewer for the formats:

What is X11?
------------
The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on unix
or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level
works X11.
The system is splitted into a server and in a client part, which is typical
for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics
and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally
is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this
system for displaying his windows.
What is the advantage to have this on an Amiga system? It makes it easier to
port open source software to the Amiga, because the sources for the GUI part
can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.
Installation
------------
1. Doubleclick on the "Install" icon in the unpacked AmiCygnix package.
Everything will be installed automatically. Please follow the
instructions of the installer script.
Please do not install by hand!!
2. Afterwards you should reset your amiga.
