You can grab a page (or pages, or image, or site for that matter) and slap it into a pdb isilo format for the palm. It's kinda like wget, but for the palm. You run iSilo on your box, it grabs the sites you tell it to and builds pdb files from those sites, and then you sync them into your palm. Check out: /usr/ports/palm/isilo and: http://www.isilo.com/ Eric -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Anderson Systems Administrator Centaur Technology Torque, it makes the world go 'round. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
