Dyne:II can be expanded with software modules: collections of applications that can be easily installed and used. Your modules are found in your dock ( the dyne/ directory on your harddisk or CD) inside the modules/ directory, or Menu->Configure->Dyne->Modules from dyne:bolic.
Additional dyne modules are freely available online and to activate them or include them in a CD you just drop the .dyne files into the dyne/modules docked directory. Then reboot, that's it.
