whois command, links browser and logs

Post by Beaker »

Hi,

I would like to know, if there is a way to install on Gargoyle:

-links browser
-whois command

And also, where can I find logs with webpages connections? I'd like to know, to which addresses is trying to connnect OS, or particular program.

Links: needs to be cross compiled. "elinks" is already available apparently, however it may have an incompatible version so you might end up needing to compile it anyway.
Also, why? I don't see the point of a browser inside a terminal on a slow inadequate piece of hardware.

Whois: is not enabled by default and the firmware would need to be recompiled. The functionality is provided through busybox.

Status->Connection List to find active connections.

Just curiosity.

I have checked that busybox, and it seems, that it is a bunch of programs I don't need. All I want is a whois. So how can I install that?
I have found this:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vi ... whois.html
And tried to compile it, but make command is not found...

If you want to install it on its own, you need to cross compile it.

You already have busybox on your router, so it's quick and efficient to enable Whois at compile time and you're done.
