Hi Mambo,

If you have the shell hack from iRex, you can run dillo easily - you just need to decompress the dillo archive to a folder then copy the folder to your iLiad.
There are some excellent free archiving software packages for Windows which will do this for you - I'm using 7-zip, and I recommend it.

Once you've got dillo on your iLiad, you just need to make sure that you have a network connection running.
Create a start script called, say, startwireless.sh like this, putting in your own SSID and WEP key (from Antartica's example above - fixed a typo):

Code:

#!/bin/
ssid="my_ssid" 
wep_key="0102030405060708090a0b0c0d" 
/usr/bin/wireless.sh start $ssid enc $wep_key

And a stop script to turn off the wireless connection once you've finished browsing, eg. stopwireless.sh:

Code:

/usr/bin/wireless.sh stop

To start dillo, just go to the dillo folder and click on "run.sh".

I think there's very little danger of dillo doing any damage to your iLiad.
