notes:
#1 ImageMagick,
This is a great program widely used and suitable to the z's small screen, it can
display, edit, resize, manipulate, etc. etc, images from the cli as well as its own
interface, and can also work with perl.
probably doesnt "depend" on them but was built with and would be "happy" with:

#2 An image viewer,
I was planning on compiling xzgv but i cant get past building imlib...
there is however an excellent image/thumbnail viewer in the pdaxrom.org feed:
"gqview", so i will leave this one for now...
#3
Tor/Privoxy,
To start privoxy, you need to add/have a user "privoxy" in group "privoxy",
there's a basic (which is good) guide to this stuff here:
(though it may be possible to run it as another non-root user)
http://www.yo-linux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTut...gingGroups.htmlunfortunately the user/group administration commands area bit cut down in beta1,
so it may be easier to do it via the files /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
then at it's simplest execute (as root): # privoxy --user=privoxy /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config
the config file this ipk installs has been setup for tor and not to make logs.
After this makes a couple of good remarks such as:
Privoxy(00004000) Info: loading configuration file '/usr/local/etc/privoxy/config':
Privoxy(00004000) Info: Privoxy version 3.0.6
Privoxy(00004000) Info: Program name: privoxy
Privoxy(00004000) Info: Listening on port 8118 for local connections only
it will background and give to the # prompt again... to exit: # killall privoxy
May 29 13:12:22 Privoxy(00004000) Info: exiting by signal 15 .. bye
from here (now that privoxy is running) you can run tor, either as root or adivisably a
non-root user such as privoxy:
To run as user privoxy from root:
# tor user privoxy DataDirectory /privoxy
this will run it as user privoxy and store temp data in /privoxy (which is the user
privoxy's home directory, which has ownership by user+group privoxy
now perhaps privoxy's home directory didnt get made properly and you get this error:
[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private data directory "/privoxy"
[err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
then:
# chown privoxy /privoxy
(this changes ownership of /privoxy folder to user privoxy)
# chgrp privoxy /privoxy
( may not be necessary but sets group ownership to privoxy)
so when all going well you get:
[notice] Tor v0.1.2.13. This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity.
[notice] Configuration file "/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc" not present, using reasonable defaults.
[notice] Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method epoll. Good.
[notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
[notice] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit.
[notice] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit.
[notice] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit.
[notice] We now have enough directory information to build circuits.
[notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working.
it may take some time to get the last line depending on network load and speed,
but when you do it should be all good to go.
then you can forward your browser or app to privoxy which forwards to tor via
setting your apps proxy to: localhost port 8118 or 127.0.0.1:8118
you can also forward apps directly to tor via socks port 9050 on localhost,
but ive never tried this.
you should also delete any old cookies from before tor usage and disable/avoid
java and active-x
(though not needed, there is an example config script for tor:
/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc.sample )
Tor can be a bit trickier than privoxy to quit, as if you ctrl+z out of it or close its terminal window,
it still hangs in the background, holding its port open and stopping another
instance from starting up:
[warn] Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:9050: Address already in use. Is Tor already running?
to shutdown properly: issue
# killall tor (from a spare cli prompt)
if you like to keep the amount of open windows to a minimum try adding:
RunAsDaemon 1 to the startup command of tor to background it like privoxy.
test sites is:
https://torcheck.xenobite.eu/http://www.showmyip.com/http://ipid.shat.net/i havent got dillo to work with it yet, i think you need another app such as proxychains
which im looking into now..., there is also a text based browser in the feed,
lynx, probably quite good and then you could try to get opera on... maybe next time...
im also checking out an app named vidalia which is a gui for tor.
