Dillo-0.8.4

Introduction to Dillo

Dillo is a fast, small footprint graphical browser. Version 0.8.4 is now considered a very stable beta. Dillo does not support Java, JavaScript or CSS, 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.

Installation of Dillo

Note

Dillo has no mechanism of character set selection and always uses iso8859-1. If this character set is not appropriate, replace all occurrences 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/dillo &&
make

Now, as the root user:

make install

Configuring Dillo

Config files

/etc/dillo/dillorc, /etc/dillo/dpidrc, ~/.dillo/*

Configuration Information

Dillo stores its configuration in the system wide /etc/dillo/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.
