Ion, treewm, or tvtwm should be enough for a window manager if really want one. (Oh, my favourite is FVWM, from fvwm-devel port, currently 2520 kB resident set size, 3336 kB virtual size, 4476 KB disk.) > Perhaps Epiphany is the only choice? If so can we make it even > lighter? I have not tried Epiphany; its default long dependency list sure is scary. Looking inside the Makefile it seems if you delete/comment out "if defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING)..." block, the actual list would be quite reduced. Hopefully there is enough space to install both mozilla & epiphany. If not, all the non essential mozilla files can be deleted. Going only on the default dependency list, Mozilla w/ GTK v1, from mozilla-gtk1 port, would be smaller at least on disk; can't say about memory requirements as i have never checked while it runs. Have you checked Netscape, Firefox or Opera? I suppose a text browser either w/ image, w3m-img, and/or JavaScript support would not cut it? - Parv -- _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
