> Nice. Never heard of dillo. Could not find a Debian package for it. Yeah, dillo isn't available in any of the repositories. You have to compile it from source. But its quite small, so it only takes a couple of minutes. But remember that its not the browsing you are used to. If i were home i'd send you a screenshot.
> Are you using qemu/kvm or real hardware? I'm using real hardware. No use in using emulators, i want the real experience. :) I hope to be able to use this computer for reading mail, and (in the near future) internet browsing. Next is to try and get some of the hardware running so i don't have to run in legacy. Does anyone know if sata will be working with DDE? Hopefully i can get my gigabit nic running in any case. > Are you using qemu/kvm or real hardware?

And i still get fchecks occationally. > Fine, another X window manager that works! Fvwm2 is one of my favorite window managers. Its not beautiful, but it does the job with honours. And always works! I can recommend it if you haven't tried it. Not so fun to set up though, try to compile fvwm-themes (not available in the repositories). Themes makes configuring a breeze. /Peter /Peter > On Fri, 2011-07-22 at 00:56 +0200, [email protected] wrote: >> First of all, if anyone is interested, dillo 0.8.6 compiles fine on >> debian >> hurd.
