Ok here is the thing. I am looking for a lightweight browser for Linux

The machine I am running it on is a 486DX/33 with 24 MB of RAM
I am currently using Links2 without graphics compiled in it but on many pages it will quickly exhaust all 24 MB of RAM as well as the 8 MB swap file and then trigger the OOM killer or freeze the system.

The requirements are kind of tight because it needs to:

*Be light on RAM
*Have a small disk footprint
*Compile cleanly on uClibc

Even Opera 3.60 on Windows 3.11 works better. It won't run out of memory on many of the same pages and that is with images and javascript too.

Any ideas?

Links2? http://pupnik.de/links2.html

Edit: My bad. I missed that you are already using it. It is the only one I am familiar using.
Sorry.

Well retawq looks promising but I need to get it to build

Stepping out on a limb here. Just woke up and have one of those early morning ideas. I was wondering if Nano Linux which is based on TinyCore Linux have some text browser like retawq based packages built inside their repository. Most of those micro distos for old gear usually cover all the bases they can for minimal applications.

Just some more flotsam and jetsam to throw into this thread.

If I am just being a Pain in the you know what. Just let me know in your reply or pm me.

Well the biggest problem is I am using uClibc C library instead of glibc because glib is too bloated.
But uClibc is missing some functionality which causes the build to fail sometimes. ncurses is giving me linker errors
even though the ncurses lib built okay earlier.

----edit----
Got it compiled. I had to rebuild ncurses with

I had a think pad with 8meg ram 200MB 16 MHZ 485SX hard with slackware 3 installed in on it
the original links browser ran just fine on it in graphics mode
(slackware is a libc 5 system so it was damn hard to find software that would compile on it )

uness this computer is a laptop or has sentimental value ditch it and get a better computer

Your in the U.S. there must a goodwill store somewhere close to you

hell I would even be willing to give you one of old ones BUT the shipping coast would be more than goodwill would charge for a better one

I don't know what to tell you unless there is a mem leak. It quickly chews through all the RAM

*sigh* I am a vintage computer enthusiast. I have over $100 in this machine including upgrades.
I have plenty of "better" computers but you seem to be missing the point badly
