One of the things it needs is some graphics capability but without xorg. So I'm thinking, svga or libSDL. For example, let's say to view a jpg file. If this is possible from the console, what program or port would one use to view a gif or jpg file? [1] by console, I mean the consoles accessed via alt-f1 to alt-f7 [2] [2] can the number of consoles be increased? Tmux or screen will give you an unlimited number of virtual terminals using only a single TTY. And give you the ability to split the console into multiple windows. Cheers, Freddie
