Hi qole,
am absolutely amazed by what you've done! This is a wonderful addition to the Internet Tablet. I bought my NIT mainly to tinker around, and with your debian distribution, it definitely does not disappoint - thanks a tonne! I'm pretty new to linux but am slowly becoming a fan...
I've actually also become something of a fan of dillo, a super-lightweight web browser. While I haven't found an ARM-compatible version of the latest edition (2.something), the old 0.8.6 is pretty amazing in terms of speed - it's the fastest I've ever seen. Of course, this comes at a price: Neither Javascript, nor CSS (though the latest one does that) let alone flash are supported. However, for pages like Wikipedia, BBC News and most everything that mainly relies on images and text, it is perfect - and it does tabbed browsing, too. Try it yourself - I promise you'll be blown away by the speed...
Anyway, I also have a question: As the new version of liferea apparently syncs with google reader, I am extremely interested in it. I've also found a package of it for ARM, including one on the debian page (somewhere in the sid repositories), but have spent much of today failing to install it
. The thing is, the deb-package I have moans about missing packages and does not appear to be able to get them itself (also, the ones on the repository - I tried to install some of them manually - seem to be older than the requirements). The version I get via apt-get/synaptic is the older 1.4, which does not yet support google reader sync.
I'm also a bit confused because my sources.list does appear to contain the sid repository - which should include the latest version - and I have also tried updating my repositories - all to no avail (though it did say something about a failed hash-check on sid?)...
Is there a newer repository for sid-packages? Or is there some other way I can install liferea 1.6?
Thanks a million in advance,
Martin
