Anyone know of a tiny windowing system? We could use lynx in a terminal window as the browser (cheating, I know...) ------- Forwarded Message From: danh@qnx.com (Dan Hildebrand) Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.development.system Subject: The 1.44M Web Challenge Date: 5 Jun 1997 14:51:47 -0400 Organization: QNX Software Systems Message-ID: <5n71s3$b9f@qnx.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: gateway.qnx.com In the interests of laying out a friendly little challenge, can a Linux system be configured to put a web browser, a web server, the OS, TCP/IP and a windowing system on a single 1.44 Mbyte floppy disk? Impossible? QNX Software Systems Ltd. announces the QNX Demo Disk (downloadable from http://www.qnx.com/iat/). This single 1.44 Mbyte floppy disk contains: 1. Voyager Web Browser (Full HTML 3.2, frames, tables, etc.) 2. Voyager Embedded Web Server 3. The QNX Realtime Operating System 4. TCP/IP (with PPP including CHAP/PAP support) 5. Photon microGUI Windowing System 6. A "remote control" device to simulate a TV set top box 7. An Internet Phone Dialer 8. A Graphical File Browser 9. A Graphical Text Editor 10. A Vector Graphics Animation 11. Over 180 Kbytes of HTML and image content With this floppy disk and a desktop PC, you can browse the web or turn that PC into a web server accessible to other computers on the Internet. To download a copy, visit the http://www.qnx.com/iat/ website. To run the demodisk, you'll need a PC with a 386 or better, 6 Mbytes of RAM minimum, a mouse, VGA or better video and, optionally, a modem. A floppy drive is required, but the hard drive is not. :-) -- Dan Hildebrand (danh@qnx.com) QNX Software Systems, Ltd. http://www.qnx.com/~danh 175 Terence Matthews phone: +1 (613) 591-0931 Kanata, Ontario, Canada fax: +1 (613) 591-3579 K2M 1W8 ------- End of Forwarded Message
