E.g. No Wifi connection (Post by Blaze #78165) or in this thread and especially [HOWTO] Broadcom wifi under Porteus ⇤ this one.
___________________________________
I downloaded drivers as instructed by blaze in older threats (tthanks to the one pointing it out to me) and also saved a forum post for offline reading on the target Porteus system because, well, for now I do not have any internet connection.
Now the issue: the system to go online with is i586 Porteus 4.0 with Palemoon 29.4.2-1.gtk2_i386 (see here palemoon_29.4.2-1.gtk2_i386 for Porteus 4.0 for details on that browser module)
I saved the forum page as "save page as / [Web site, complete]" okay, set my browser to offline reading, opened a new tab to see the results.
This is what the page looks like when viewed in the online browser
and this is what the saved page looks like.
I know the issue is because either some css files (or maybe even js files that handle css) either got saved wrong, or not got saved at all. I know this is no issue of forum.porteus.org - it is how Palemoon and Firefox handle saving webpages.
I try to solve the issue and report back what needs to be changed in the locally saved .html file, and probably which css (or maybe even js) files need to be saved as well. The later is to be put into the folder that got created when the page was "save page as / [Web site, complete]" processed.
If someone tried saving HOWTO or TUTORIAL pages from forum.porteus.org locally for offline-use on the other PC with network issues in the past, maybe that person already knows what to be changed in the html and what needs to be saved in the *_files/" folder manually already. Much appreciated for some tips.

As much as I prefer Palemoon over any of the Chrome variants on a day to day browsing matter, the idea of Chrome/Chromium/whatever to save a complete web page in a kind of container format that holds all included css and images inline is kind of nice and would not run into such issues (at least all pages I save like that worked just fine when opening up again, be it on an Android Smartphone Chrome or on a Porteus Linux one Chrome.)
By default, Firefox or Palemoon cannot handle such container format saved web pages, though.

Most probably it is one or all three of these as found in the pages source code
Code: Select all
<link href="./assets/css/font-awesome.min.css?assets_version=329" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="./styles/prosilver/theme/stylesheet.css?assets_version=329" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="./styles/prosilver/theme/en/stylesheet.css?assets_version=329" rel="stylesheet">

For now I saved many previously non-existing css files into the locally correct *_files/" folder … and the design looks a bit better, but especially the top of the pages is still messed up. *le sigh* I would hope Palemoon and Firefox would adopt the Chrome* solution of the container format for locally saved web pages. They can keep their own way, juzst add that one. Not all solutions some Göøgle program came up with is a bad solution. E.g. webp being superior compared to jpeg. (Webp was originally coded by other folks and göøgle just bought the company and all its rights and released webp as a free open standard. And in this case all other main browsers also support webp - even when your system would not support webp via its image viewer, you still can view webp images via your browser)
