= Links, a CUI web browser ported to the Zipit 2 =
== Introduction ==
This is just a quick compile of [http://links.sourceforge.net/ Links], the console-based web browser for the Zipit 2 with SSL support. No tweaking has been done to the browser. This is based off of the [http://www.jikos.cz/~mikulas/links//download/links-1.00pre23.tar.gz official Links source code] and [http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz OpenSSL].

NOTE: You may want to use the latest [wiki:OpenEmbedded OpenEmbedded] build instead of the port documented here.

== Installation ==
First, you'll need a [wiki:Z2Shell shell environment] to run Links in. Then, copy the "links" executable (in the archive attached to this page) to the "bin" folder on the SD card.

== Use ==
Once the Zipit 2 is booted with your SD card, enter "links" into the terminal. Press "g" to open an address bar to visit a site. Use the direction pad to browse a page. Use the ":)" button to bring up the task menu. Finally, press "q" to exit Links.

== Download ==
The latest release is available [http://linux.zipitwireless.com/attachment/wiki/Links/z2_links_0.2.zip here].

== Changelog ==

 * v0.2 (14/01/2008)
   * Compiled with SSL support

 * v0.1 (13/01/2008)
   * Initial Release

== Todo ==
 * Move over to using Lynx (with color support!)
 * Use an efficient toolchain to compile (probably OE), binary is somewhat bloated
