the web browser!

[dicorer]

if anybody were still wandering, is it possible to make something really lightweight with those debs... yes, now you can
Unfortunately I got an issue with the web browser, the sce comes out way too big.
I say too big, because the other sce are not:
- xorg vesa+fluxbox= 18 MB
- alsa full= 5 MB
- pcmanfm+leafpad=6MB
- apache2+php=7 MB
- gcc complete env=33 MB
- web browser,xxxterm=51 MB (!!!)

every sce is without redundant debs (all depend each other) and without useless debs (striped away with no mercy)

Did anybody found a lighter web browser, deb packed, with javascript+ssl?
Thanks

Sadly Fifth is not deb-packed anywhere, but you can use Opera 12.

[dicorer]

ok, where I get the pack for opera12?
opera12 is deb packed?

I dont need a fully featured webbrowser.
I need something like dillo+javascript!

Click around on Opera.com.

got it, thanks, they give a standard deb pack.
unfortunately the pack is outside ubuntu repo.
so I had to do another ugly hack to feed that file to sce-import... had to rename the opera deb into an existing deb I already had, modify the line inside the Index file with right size and md5 checksum, the -p option doesn't work at first run, so after sce-import said ok, I quickly copied the hacked Index on it, and so on...
It worked, but I didn't like it 

would suggest another mod, to allow easy merging for external debs too

Fifth is not only not deb packed, it can't be built on even Debian Sid as it needs newer libraries.  I point this out in case anyone attempts to build it on dCore.

Things do not have to be already in a Debian repo or Debian licence compatible.  If it can be redistributed, it can be built and hosted.  Package requests for dCore are welcome, there is a thread for that:

dicorer,
Have you tried the sce-import -d option, to use existing SCEs as dependencies of one another to save space?

[dicorer]

of course I tried, once
It didn't meet my requirements, so I took the liberty to *expand* it.
Instead of -d, I use 3 new options: no-dependencies, deb-exclude and deb-extern.

forgot to add: while Im checking into init and sce scripts, Im digging out more undocumented cmdline options and JUICY features... I would have made use of them earlier, if I knew they existed...
