w3-el, Howto?
Having become more comfortable with Linux after playing with it for a
couple of months, I thought it might be good to fire up dselect and see
what neat packages there might be. One I found interesting is w3-el.
Near as I can tell from the description, it's a graphical web browser that
doesn't require X. This is EXACTLY what I've been wanting. (My home
machine is too underpowered to run Netscape (taking 15-20 minutes just to
start up), and lynx doesn't let me see images or view frame-based pages,
etc.)
Problem is, I know nothing about emacs (apparently required for w3-el),
and I can't find any documentation for w3-el. I can start emacs(20?), and
after pressing 7 or 8 different key strokes finally figure out how to exit
emacs, but I haven't a clue as to how I run w3-el from within it (or
beside it, or below it, or above it, or behind it, or in front of it).
So two questions:
1) Is this what I've been wanting: a graphical web
browser that does not require X? Or have I misunderstood its capabilities?
2) How do I get started with it?
Thanks!
