Browser in Kiosk mode
PHo:
Hi,
There's a few posts around Browser support and at least one on Kiosk mode but most are fairly old so decided to make a new one.
I have a RasPi Zero with a USB wifi adapter. Installed piCore 9.0.3 and have the wifi working and desktop installed with TC.tcz.
Plan on having it on a screen with a browser constantly pointing to a webpage which I will host on my server to show google cal (might try another calendar) and some task/shopping list etc.
Need it to boot straight to a browser that has its homepage as this page I'll host.
So I found that fifth browser and midori were available at some time in the tcz repo. Where have they gone?
Sounds like Midori is exactly what I need, browser that can open full-screen, borderless and without a title bar. Is there still a way to install or do I have to go down the porting firefox from debian route as some people have done?

The fifth browser is in the piCore 9.x armv7 repo
Midori is in the piCore 7.x repos

Excellent stuff, after a little search came up with the following to view the repo's mentioned above:
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/7.x/armv6/tcz/
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/
After having a look around can you tell me whether this is the correct way of doing it:
--- Code: ---cd /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/
wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/7.x/armv6/tcz/midori.tcz
wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/7.x/armv6/tcz/midori.tcz.md5.txt
tce-load -i midori.tcz
--- End code ---

I've found some dependancies missing so have installed the following:
--- Code: ---tce-load -wi libxml2.tcz
tce-load -wi sqlite3.tcz
tce-load -wi libsoup.tcz
--- End code ---
It's currently failing on libXss but can't seem to find it anywhere.
Do you have a quick way of searching for it in previous repo's?

Hi PHo
You should not blindly go mixing extensions from different repos.
