Yes, that is the program. I will be uploading source for all of these programs shortly, BTW.

screen would be nice if it isn't already there
http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html
very useful for doing many things at once without switching terminals
I too would like too see a CLI + LAMP solution. I'm getting one of those microclient jrs. and having the distro small enough to operate well in 128MB with LAMP may be tricky otherwise...
Keeping an eye on this thread.

Yes, I'm aware of screen, but no, I didn't put it into the iso I created. I chose twin instead, as I just like it better. I realize they have slightly different purposes, but there is a lot of overlap to them.
I still intend to create a few Onebone specific packages, so probably I'll package up screen as well. I have a few goodies like centericq to package up already.

I love your idea for this CLI version of puppy. Is it possible that cjots could find its way into onebone? I have a kde desktop on my main debian machine and love kjots so of course would love to see cjots make its way into puppy. Tuxcards is not my kind of outliner and besides...it's not a console app like cjots.
Hmmm...any musicians out there thinking about a low-latency console based musical puppy? Would it be called pupmudi? I've seen a few interesting packages(like rosegarden) that somebody on the forum has dotpupped that I was totally unprepared for. If I knew enough about linux and programming I'd probably go mad trying to do something like this.
peace,

I don't know if this package might be too big, but there is a CLI version of gaim called gaim-text and obviously supports many protocols and would be easy for users to adapt to.

Just something else to think of.
Edit: Here's the link to the actual files. It's an rpm but they don't seem to post the source code anywhere.

Decade+ later revival of a very old thread ...
fbgs (installable as apt-get fbi from debian) caters for console based framebuffer display of pdf files. The graphical (image) quality isn't as good as with
green http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpuwnBrb5Uc (skip to around 2:50 into that video to see a brief look at the quality difference when using green) but is sufficient for modest viewing purposes.
wget a remote html web page (most often you have to include the --no-check-certificate parameter nowadays as usually it will be a https web page), perhaps pipe that through
html2ps and
ps2pdf ... and into fbgs and you'd have a graphical view of the web page from within a terminal/console session.
You can zoom in and out with the - and + keys (scroll around using arrow keys)
fbi can be used as a terminal based (linux framebuffer) image viewer (fbi some.jpg)

You can do most of the things you would expect from a regular WM including opening multiple windows, resizing, moving, minimize, maximize, and if the GPM daemon is running it can all be done with the mouse also. So the only major component missing would be a root window.
I've packaged it up and if the extra themes are removed it comes in at around 600K, so while not light this is way smaller than adding Xvesa along with a WM and terminal emulator. So I think when I build the final iso I'll add this program. I may also create the minimal X package I talked about earlier, but like I said not for the Onebone iso.

Wow ally. Impressive.
Just been messing around with framebuffer imageviewer (in Debian that's available using apt-get install fbi) that provides a framebuffer to display images within ... from within a terminal session. Using the extracted individual frames from a animated gif all saved to its own folder/directory you can cd to that folder and run fbi *.gif to view each image individually ... and step through them one by one by using the PgUp key. Hold that key and it flashes through them at such a rate that its as good as viewing the actual animated gif. I guess you could even create/watch a movie that way assuming you could ensure the sound being played separately was sync'd in some way.

for a little cli fun, copy, paste and run in terminal:
