What is it:
Dillo is a web browser for PDAs and similar devices. It doesn't offer the features of a full-fledged web browser (not comparable in any way to firefox, opera or safari), but is amazingly fast and works with very little resources.
How to install:
1. First of all, you need to have shell access enabled. To have it enabled in your iliad, you have to request it to iRex in this page:
https://myirex.irexnet.com/user.php/developer. After that you have to connect the iliad to iDS to fetch the update.
More information in the wiki.
2. Download the lastest release of dillo and the connect scripts:
dillo-0.8.6_iliad-0.7.zip connection-scripts-1.0.zip
3. Connect the iliad to your PC and uncompress the two zip files to one of the directories of the iliad (for example in "documents")
4. Disconnect the iliad from you PC
How to run:
1. Go to the place you installed (unzipped) the programs (i.e "DOCS")
2. Click on the "Lan/Wifi On" item. The led should blink for some seconds. If it only blinks once, it's probable that the shell access package is not installed (try to launch dillo, if it can launch, then it's correctly installed and the problem is elsewhere).
3. Click on the "Dillo" item. The web browser should open. If the screen doesn't refresh correctly the first time, just tap with the stylus in the screen and it will refresh again.
4. Once you have finished web browsing, click on the underlined "F" in the menu bar, then "Exit", to quit dillo.
5. Click on the "Lan/Wifi Off" item to disconnect from the internet.
Limitations of dillo in the iliad:
- Only accepts latin-1 characters (that is, no unicode, no east-europe encodings, no chinese, no japanese... read this as "only works for pages in english, french, spanish, portuguese, german, italian and similar languages").
- There is support for opening local files, but is rough (report problems, please)
- No bookmark support
- No SSL support (https will not work)
- No download support.
And that is it, more or less.

Hi All!
Using the knowledge gained from the unfinished port of ted to the iliad, I've finally added the bits needed to make dillo work in the iliad.
It's somewhat rough around the edges (after using any hardware button, it lefts the busy led blinking, and it crashes frequently), but it works for some sites.
You have it here, for your testing pleasure:

Have fun!
P.S.: You have to enable the network (using a shell script or whatever) before launching dillo.
P.S.2: Caution, this is not thoroughly tested, perhaps you'll have to reset your iliad after using it, etc.
