| Question
: |
Give me more detail about
'drive the system ONLY through interfaces (CGI and JavaScript).' .
|
| Answer
: |
There is already such a
Linux DreamCast distro that is like other distros for personal computer.
We provide another kind of distro : EVERYBODY who bought a DreamCast
for playing (so without any add-on like mouse/keyboard/vgabox) could
use Dream[Slack]...
We don't know (for the moment) what will be the available commands...

What is the browser that
you use with these interfaces ?
|
| Answer
: |
That's Links2, a
Links-based browser which is able to display images through Linux's
FrameBuffer (and other outputs but this is the one that I choose) and
understand JavaScript.

| Question
: |
How do you do use Linux
for DreamCast without keyboard and mouse ?
|
| Answer
: |
We use a trick !!! We are
writing a kernel module to simulate the joystick as a mouse...
Then CGI and JavaScript interfaces give you acces to some commands, to
setup your connection for example... For this moment only a 'userland'
version of this driver is avaible.
