Rebol Browser 4 Command Line RedHat Install
[1/4] from: benminton:austarnet:au at: 26-Oct-2003 19:02
Hi All
I recently migrated from Windows to RH 9.0 Linux but
chose to perform a command line install.
As I have not installed any of the X packages, I
cannot install any sort of GUI type Web Browser.
Although I can use Lynx, the text browser but it is very
restrictive.
Is it possible to use/build a small Rebol web browser
of the most simple form, something to a standard of
MS IE ver 3 or 4?
Looking through the rebol community there are some
excellent products and perhaps this issue has already
been developed.
I also downloaded Rebol Core & View for Linux and
plan to use it above the command line linux.
Looking forward to learning.
Ben, Australia

Hey Ben. I don't use view that much but I believe
it needs 'X' to run. In fact I just tested it from
a regular console. (didn't work)
Why are you choosing not to install X?. The command
line is available from X via any number of xterm consoles,
and you can Ctrl-Alt F(n) to a number of 'real'
consoles if you want - from X.
BTW: This is slightly off-topic, but if you want
a small browser, super-fast (but doesn't support frames),
try Dillo. It is almost as fast as lynx. I use it
for browsing documentation.

Hi Tim
Thanks for the reply. No X ... because I run an older
486 and did not have the space for the full install.
Also I wanted to 'learn' Linux not just point-and-click
like windows.
Yes, I have Lynx. Read about Dillo yesterday. Is it a
non-X browser? Was not able to discern.
Cheers, Ben

nope, dillo needs X. You would probably appreciate w3m as a text-mode
browser, though...
