Application:Terminal

Status

This is pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha software. Consider yourself lucky if it works at all. Many people have put many hours of hard work in to get just this far - respect that effort when making comments and suggestions. It is a dumb terminal. You can not run full screen apps yet. There is no esc key. The SYM key is the control key. To scroll the screen, flick the screen. (Hint, it's a Pre app.)

If you are on the Pre, type:

<source lang="text"> echo "src/gz armv7 http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/preware/armv7" >> /var/etc/ipkg/preware.conf </source>

If you are on the Emulator, type:

<source lang="text"> echo "src/gz i686 http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/preware/i686" >> /var/etc/ipkg/preware.conf </source>
