Very Computer

Hi,

I just installed Linux on my PC (486/33, 4MB internal memory). The amount
of memory is too small to work with X-windows. in a fashionable way.
So I cannot use xdvi for TeX previewing. Is there another way to preview
my .dvi files?

Thanx in advance,

Marten

p.s. Yes, I'll extend my memory soon.

The Mgr window system runs Linux and on various small micros.
Its texmgr program previews dvi files using shrunk printer fonts,
albeit a bit slowly.  Mgr is included in the big Linux archives.
Check it out.

A very simple program is called 'dvi2tty'. It can be used on any kind of
terminal but the capabilities are rather limited. It's useful to check
general layout, but useless for special symbols.
Btw. I have also only 4MB but X (and xdvi) is useable. Startup times
are long, but paging through the text is really fast.
Shrink your kernel by removing all unused drivers.
Shrink your X by removing all unused drivers with xlink.
