AnotherLevelUp is available under the GPL in two forms:
The full package size is just under 4Mbyte, and expands to just over 5Mbyte when installed (on a 1K per block filestore, nearly 7Mbyte on a 4K filestore!). This includes a collection of useful images in addition to those used in the ready made shared themes.
For ease of download, and to permit varying levels of installation, the package is available in 3 parts: the main package (including only a very limited number of themes), the remaining themes, and extra images to help make your own themes. The latter themes and extra images change less frequently than the main package and are the largest part of the whole installation. Use the tables below to check the themes and extra images version numbers. You don't need the themes part of the package at all if you are not really into themes. You don't need the extra images if you are not short of images to use in your own themes, or are happy without themes, or happy with the ready made themes.
Red Hat 6.x-9 and Fedora (etc.) RPMSPlease note: AnotherLevelUpThemes was updated to version 1.1 in October 2000. This has the same themes as the previously available version 1, but in each theme, the 16 font colours for xterm have been improved to increase textual clarity (e.g. for use with ls --color).
AnotherLevelUp is suitable for Red Hat 7.[012] from version 31/10/00 onwards. It is suitable for Red Hat 7.3 from version 29/7/02 onwards. It is suitable for RH9 and Fedora from some point before 16/10/07, so certainly from 16/10/07 onwards!
Related software You can use AnotherLevelUp straight out of the box, but you may wish to consider also installing the following to get `full' functionality. (The locations below are a bit out of date, I need to update this page.)
| What | Why | Where |
|---|---|---|
| perl-TK | Used for the program that monitors your ~/.ALU-errors-*-* file. | Red Hat Contrib. |
| xv | For the bggen program, to enable the diagonal striped backgrounds when a mixture of solid and frame colour is chosen. Without bggen, AnotherLevelUp will produce a fine mesh background instead -- okay, but not as funky. | Shipped with Red Hat 5.2. Also in Red Hat Contrib. Also in Red Hat Powertools 6.2. |
| xsnow | To enable pretty snow on your desktop if desired. | Shipped with Red Hat 5.2. Also in Red Hat Powertools 6.2. |
| xearth | To enable a picture of the earth as a desktop background. | Shipped with Red Hat 6.1. Also in Red Hat Powertools 6.2. |
| xlbiff | An xbiff program that pops up a window showing your latest 10 message headers when new mail arrives. (At least, that's what it does when used with AnotherLevelUp.) | ?? |
| ddd | A really nice debugger which AnotherLevelUp knows about. | Red Hat Contrib. Also in Red Hat Powertools 6.2. |
| nedit | A nice simple novice-friendly editor that AnotherLevelUp knows about. | Red Hat Contrib. Also in Red Hat Powertools 6.2. |
| jove | A nice, light-weight, emacs-like editor that AnotherLevelUp knows about. | Red Hat Contrib. |
| xemacs | The X version of emacs. One of the editors AnotherLevelUp knows about. | Red Hat Contrib. Also in Red Hat Powertools 6.2. |
