Extra software modules

Dyne:II offers the possibility to be expanded using .dyne modules: collections of applications that can be easily installed and used. In fact the basic system already contains some of these modules, that can be found in your dock as the dyne/modules/ directory. From the menu, you can see them clicking thru CONFIGURE -> DYNE -> MODULES

Additional dyne modules are available online on the dynebolic.org homepage in the Extras section. Download and activate them just dropping the .dyne files into the dyne/modules docked directory. Then reboot, that's it!

Users can easily keep their modules across different machines, always finding back the software they need. Modules can also be used thru different dyne versions: just update the core dock and then drop in your good old modules.

Download free and open source dyne modules online from ftp://ftp.dyne.org/dynebolic/modules, there are many interesting extensions already: office and development tools, crosscompile chains, manuals and of course games :)

Quite some developers and artists are actively contributing with modules listed on http://lab.dyne.org/DyneModules.

When you install new modules, since it is so easy, the only care that must be taken is their provenience, since a broken or malicious module can access all your system. Of course to install a module you must be root. On our website we'll suggest only modules we have tested, anyway you're free to choose, it's all up to you to decide whom you trust, you just did it by running this system on your computer didn't you? :)
