chimera2 for TC 5.x

[urbalazs]

Hi!

Please make a chimera2 web browser package for Tiny Core 5.x!
I'am building a low power consumption (12 Watt) PC from a thin client, which has only 16MB storage. I installed Tiny Core 5.0.2 and some packages. It works perfectly, but i have only 800k free space on the device. Only chimera2 can fit this space. Everything done, only a web browser missing...

Wrong, elinks-nodeps from 5.x repo is only 56Kb bigger than chimera2 from 4.x.
And just for the record, regarding 4.x repo, netrik would be 1/6th of the size of chimera2

Both elinks and netrik are text based web browsers. Chimera is grafical web browser, the smallest grafical web browser. I would like to present HTML based presentations about Tiny Core on a machine running Tiny Core with very limited resources: 200 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM, 16 MB Flash HDD.
That's why I need chimera. Please, make a 5.x package!

You really need: More CPU, more RAM, more flash.

Links has a graphical mode, it can show pictures.

IMHO, links-based browsers (compiled with GUI support) are the modern way to go for a lightweight web browser. There are links, links2, elinks, links-hacked (not all available with TC), and they differ on support for Javascript, tabs, copy-paste.

I have a Neoware CA5 thin client using as desktop PC with Tiny Core. 200 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM, 16 MB flash. No more CPU, no more RAM, no more flash. I can't upgrade it!

Your CPU and RAM should not be a problem. A year ago or so, I almost managed to customize TC to run on a laptop with 24MB RAM and a P166mmx CPU; that was a bit short, though. 200MHz and 64MB RAM should be OK. BTW, on said laptop, I could run DamnSmallLinux with X11
16MB of flash storage will be more difficult...

Hi urbalazs

I can't upgrade it!

Do you mean you are not allowed to upgrade it or you just think it can't be upgraded? If it's the latter, this might be useful:

Depending on how large your backup file is, moving it to an external USB thumb drive might be worthwhile.

FLTK allows to display e.g. help text in HTML including images. Maybe that is already sufficient for your presentations. TinyCore includes the FLTK libraries so making a tiny FLTK application to display your html files would be the smallest solution.
