0.5.5 So I've finally gotten out of my laziness and actually released a new version of FLY. There isnt much 'new' in this version, but there is a fair bit of stuff 'fixed'.

The main features of this version are:

1) Sid's conkymaker script has been tweaked and added to FLY. It'll create a custom Conky config file based on your computer. That is, whether or not you are running a laptop with a battery. If you are, then displays of battery charge, percentage, and AC power will be added. If you have any file systems mounted, those will also be displayed. At present, Conky does not allow Conky code to be run from sub scripts, so if you mount a filesystem AFTER conkymaker has run, it wont be updated unless you manually run conkymaker and then restart Conky. See the thread entitled 'Conky hacking'

2) Conky now has it's own window and a black background. What does this mean? Conky is now LEGIBLE! I've also gotten rid of the shadows, but now that it's on a black background that wont really matter.

3) Likely due to the new version of Conky in this version (1.5.1 from 1.4.9), the double_buffer works, and is now enabled. That means no more annoying flickering!

4) The menu entry for service start of Tor/Privoxy has been fixed. So clicking it now starts BOTH services. The TOR subscript for Conky has been improved as well. And both the TOR and VNC subscripts have been confirmed to work properly (at least with 1 VNC, I didnt test more).

5) I've added the bind toolset

6) The FLYinstaller was updated, but it's still not finished. Anyone willing to play with it in a VM go for it. Make a note though, that for some reason, if you boot the VM after running the installer, and the boot order has the hard drive first, then VMware will just sit there and do nothing. So you'll have to hit 'esc' while the VM is in POST and select the CD-ROM from the boot menu.
