+1 for remove.
(maybe make it a build option, people who want it should have to
download a custom build from AstLinux site)
I use the build tool when I want certain features or to remove dahdi.

Hi Michael,
May I suggest a new trick :-)
Provided you have SSH access to your AstLinux box, from a typical Web
Browser box (OS X for me) from the terminal issue:
--
ssh -D5000 root@pbx
--
This establishes a SOCKS proxy via localhost:5000 on your Web Browser
box to your AstLinux box, then config your web browser to use the
SOCKS proxy, for example Firefox (image):
Firefox:
Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection: "Configure how
Firefox connects to the Internet" { Settings... }
Hit { OK }, and presto your web browser acts just as if it were
sitting inside your AstLinux box, just like "links" but with pictures,
javascript, etc .
Give it a try, works quite well. Can be a handy trick to reach an IP
Phones's web interface that are not normally routable over the VPN.
So, does this change your feelings for "links" ?

Hi Lonnie,
I use it mainly as a kind of emergency tool over VPN to access the
WebGUI of a router, WLAN accesspoint, switch and such to e.g. reboot
such a device, when I could not access these devices over http via
VPN (e.g. when a route was missing, or a different gateway was set).
It was not very often, but when I needed it, it was a real help.
Therefor I would like to keep it.
If it has to be stripped, it could be be stripped for devices with
small RAM like Alix or net5501.

Hi,
We just updated "links" (command line web browser) to the latest
version in the SVN, but does anyone actually use it?
I think I asked this over in the devel list some years ago, but time
to ask again.
While "links" is kind of cool in principle, without Javascript and
without Image support (as we build it) it's usefulness seems very
limited anymore. It does allow you to view the AstLinux web
interface via a serial console, but actually using it redefines the
word 'tedious'.
Also "links" is large in size, almost 1 MB.
So, does anyone use "links" or see a way it could get you out of a
jam ? If yes, I would be very curious how you use it.
On the other hand if "links" is dead weight for us, we should
disable it in the default AstLinux builds.
