Has any of you worked with luakit web browser? By any chance would you have built a porteus version?
Comments on that browser would be quite appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi francois, hi Ed_P

Installing from source is necessary:

https://luakit.github.io/#sec-download

I have never compiled from the source code before.
I should try that now?!

I have tried with git luakit. You need lfs (lua file system) as prerequisite. I was not able to build that one.
I know that nemesis would fetch it with the right libraries. Not achieved yet.
Thanks.
