This single floppy based linux X-window package attempts to provide the basic applications and file functions required for a communications node on the Internet. With suitable network interface card based access (T1, DSL modem or cable modem) to the Internet,

Xwoaf provides:
jwm Win95 clone window manager,
retawq (fast!) text mode web browser,
OXElmo email client,
edx text editor,
bcalc simple four function GUI/command line calculator
xcalendar date/day/time pop-up calendar.

File functions are provided by:
rxvt X-terminal program,
busybox, the built in monolithic binary containing linux command line apps and
txplor: a dual-pane, tree-based filemanager.

NOTE: To edit any local URL linked file in this help file, Right-click on the URL, select 'SendTo:' and then select 'Editor'.

The three X-apps txplor, retawq and OXElmo all started life as curses based text-mode terminal apps. I hacked together an equivalent X-curses API which only uses libX11 and libc based upon code I wrote for edx.

What's New in This Release:
This release added better kernel module support, built-in ext2 and VFAT filesystem support, qemu for development, a custom build system, online help, an optional framebuffer enabled kernel, and the rdesktop client.
