php please!

XAMPP is a behemoth - like 60MB worth of behemoth.

php please!

I built php 5.2.9 and will submit it when I have finished testing.
But I am having trouble integrating it with Apache.

I'd like to request Miro (http://www.getmiro.com) and Mnemosyne (http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/)

I'd like to request the bluez 3.x package (instead of the 4.41) because it's well documented on the internet (and pand is included in it).  It seems Bluez 4.x isn't well documented, even though it's supposed to 'just work'.  When it doesn't 'just work', there's nothing anyone can do about it.

I tried compiling it myself, and while it does compile, it skips over the pand folder... make says there's nothing to do for 'all'.  I'm unable to resolve this.

My request would be for Gambas2, a nice easy programmimg language, but also because
Writer's-World-Maker, a "helper/outliner" for novelists depends on gambas2, cause it's written in gambas2

Hopefully someday
thanks

Hello,

First of all, nice job with this distro.  It is love at first side for me.  Always wanted an easy to use linux with exactly what I want to install.

I'm a Mac and Windows user.  But in my younger geekish years I used to use alpine/pine with Suse for emails.  Would be great if there is such an extension for Tiny Core.

Thanks again for your efforts.  Very much appreciated!!!

Just realized that there is no emacs, latex, or sendmail.  Too old? 

Some ill will to use them even though suffered to get along with them in school long time ago . . .very long time ago.

Emacs is coming.   Just yesterday the Emacs devs released the final pre-release version for Emacs 23, the latest Emacs version, which comes with a lot of great improvements)  I've compiled the previous pre-release successfully and am just trying to figure out a sensible scheme for a little modularization (so you don't have to get all the docs and elisp source files if you're space is limited). 

I may get to making a tcz package of the 'base' part of TeXLive 2008 as well.  I don't see why it wouldn't work, since TeXLive contains all of it's own plumbing.  You can even run it straight from the DVD, without installing it.)

Of course both of these projects are BIG compared with the core of TinyCore.  But Emacs anyway runs fine.  And for those with a bit of RAM (a slightly modularized GTK2 version with TTF fonts support and all the bells and whistles will take 256MB or 384MB RAM to load as a tce), it gives a lot of functionality in a hurry.  Not to mention the possibility of adding any of hundreds of Emacs extensions. 

I know nothing about how necessary sendmail is on a modern Linux system.  Certainly the heavyweight mail user agents can be set just to send their mail directly to your ISP's SMTP server, which also solves those funny problems where your mail was sent from you@yourlocalmachinename.com, which could then get rejected downstream.

Very happy to read this, thanks a lot!  Starting to understand the meaning of TCL as a loadpad w/ endless possibilities to enhance.  Big packages really doesn't fit quite well in this philosopy.

Anyway, emacs and TexLive much appreciated.

Request vpnc.

vpnc is the open source vpn client for cisco routers. It is essential for TC users who need to connect to their office via vpn.

Thank you in advance!
