read support files in term (w/o apps browser)
ttz:
How can I view support files on cli via cat, less, or vim?
From: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:creating_extensions:
"5. write & place support files: dep, info, list, and md5 hash"
I just want to be able to cat to term, or view in less or vim, the content of support files, especially info - this is like asking to view a man page. The above ref suggests, to me, that the files are distinct and I should be able to view without apps browser, but I can't find them.
The closest I can get is: ls /mnt/sdb1/tce/optional/
There, I see bits like: Xorg-7.7-bin.tcz.md5.txt, Xorg-7.7-lib.tcz.dep
But where is 'info'?
Ultimately, I should be able to list tcz's and select any of the support files to read in cli.

tce-ab

Oh! While not exactly what I was looking for, it seems to do the job. I will play with it.
Thanks
gerald_clark:
info files are only used by the apps browser.
To look at them with 'less' you would need to download them first.

"To look at them with 'less' you would need to download them first."
Now we are closer to the mark. I'll work on both downloading and tce-ab - now I have some direction.
Hey, thank you for your time!
