Dillo-0.8.1

Introduction to Dillo

Dillo is a fast, small footprint graphical browser. Version 0.8.1 is now considered a stable beta. Dillo does not support Java or JavaScript, and the current version does not support FTP, HTTPS or frames. It is, however, very fast and so is useful on older, slower machines. It supports downloads and can support cookies.

Package information

Dillo dependencies

Required

Installation of Dillo

[Note]

Note

Dillo has no mechanism of character set selection and always uses iso8859-1. If this character set is not appropriate, replace all occurences of iso8859-1 to the desired character set in src/dw_style.c.

Install Dillo by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make &&
make install

Configuration Information

Dillo stores its configuration in the system wide /etc/dillorc file and the ~/.dillo directory which is created automatically when dillo is run for the first time. Note that cookies are turned off by default. To enable cookies, edit the ~/.dillo/cookiesrc file.
