Yesterday "optilude" posted a "fast and flexible curses ebuild browser" |
| 14 |
to the Gentoo Forums. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Requiring only bash and dialog, it would easily fit onto the |
| 17 |
traditionally minimal Gentoo install CD and alongside ufed and |
| 18 |
mirrorselect. More importantly, because it works directly through |
| 19 |
emerge (emerge `ebb` is the suggested invocation), using this ebuild |
| 20 |
browser would preserve flexibility in the Gentoo install: for those who |
| 21 |
would prefer to stick with the traditional emerge command-line |
| 22 |
interface, this browser would not interfere with complete control over |
| 23 |
emerge, but for those who do want the browser it is easily accessible. |
| 24 |
Give it a shot. |
