I tried to design xshell to be the most friendly way to run a program like elinks. For various reasons, some people might feel uncomfortable installing xshell. Elinks can be run from either an older version of mrxvt, or without installing xshell:

  1. If you have an older version of iliad_mrxvt, run that.
    If you have v0.5.0 or greater, select "Run Standalone"

  2. The command to launch elinks will depend on where you unzipped it. For example, if you put it on your CF card in the "Programs" folder under the "elinks" subfolder, you would type in mrxvt:
    /media/cf/Programs/elinks/elinks

Caveats:
  • Older versions of mrxvt (by default) don't properly refresh the screen.
  • To get things to look like they do in the screenshots, you have to modify your terminal options. (VT 100 frames, block cursor, and a few other random settings.)
