Resources Blog Articles. Beta availability was announced to Usenet on 22 July In , Montulli added an Internet interface and released a new version 2. As of July the support of communication protocols in Lynx is implemented using a version of libwww, forked from the library's code base in There are no reviews yet. Be the first one to write a review. Software Library. This is where the Packet Driver is important.
Now we will begin to connect to the network, for ease-of-use we will be using the Packard Wizard. This will do most of the work for us, as the PPP setup is purely for dial-up and manual setup makes things complicated for no reason. Click on the packet wizard, as you will be greeted by the second screenshot. As explained before, a packet driver allows your system to communicate with the network.
The wizard will detect and set up the packet driver if any are active, if there are not please return to the first Getting Started part.
If there are, congrats! Click on Next to continue. Now comes how you want to set up your IP addresses, if you dont know how to do any of that select the DHCP button and let Arachne do it for you. Otherwise, you might still be stock with the second screenshot. DHCP gives your system an IP address automatically and ensures no conflicts are on the network you want to use.
Your Arachne installation is now ready to go! But do note! Restart Arachne first, or you will still be greeted by the No network interface page. After restarting, the arachne homepage should begin to load. Your Arachne is on-line and fully ready to browse the webs. For instance:. This way, if you for instance load a wordpress website and the Mozilla Readability PHP turns it into a basic page without any extra links or other rubbish.
Then, FrogFind strips that resulting web page of any HTML older systems are unable to process, and then sends it to you, the user. So small screen and only black and white. Due to their primitivity, FrogFind will not pass things like tables or images. Only text, bulletpoints and links.
Other point is that due to its use of Mozilla Readability, not all sites will load. For some years we have heard complaints about lack of Linux support, yet nobody ever wanted to assist with this. You at least have tried, so I commend you for that. We have no current Linux developer, but if you'd like to restart the Linux branch, please join the existing developers at groups.
It is not very different from my plan I definitely don't expect you or any other regular Linux user to pay for Arachne. But forget about end users of personal computers.
Only very small percent of population is actively using their PCs, using other productivity software than which comes pre-installed, and this gap is going to grow in future. I am definitely not concerned about those few end users, but about companies who are going to sell hardware with pre-installed software and about future application providers, who will replace current software vendors.
Are they willing to support open source - or just take advantage of its existence? There are two more reasons. My contracts prevent me from releasing Arachne source code for certain period of time. If there are no new contracts signed, I am going to open the code of course.
But I am still not convinced, that people will actively contribute to such open source project. Arachne source code is currently open to small group of Arachne users, who I can trust completely, and contribution from this user group is in fact quite confusing. One good programmer, who is actually submiting his changes to him, always focus on different problems, than I would like to solve, there is problem with code forking, with his understanding of my code and my understanding of his code, etc.
