+NETSURF ATARI FAQ
+
+Date: 15.02.2011
+
+01.) CAN NETSURF ALSO BE RUN WITHIN AN TOS ENVIRONMENT?
+02.) I DON'T HAVE AN 15 BIT GRAPHICS CARD, HOW TO RUN NETSURF ANYWAY?
+03.) WHEN I WANT TO RUN NETSURF IT SAYS: "SOCKET NOT CONNECTED".
+04.) I'M GETTING "INSUFFICENT MEMORY" MESSAGES WHEN RUNNING NETSURF.
+05.) A PAGE CRASHES - WHAT CAN I DO?
+
+1.) Question:
+ CAN NETSURF ALSO BE RUN WITHIN AN TOS ENVIRONMENT?
+
+ Answer:
+ Yes NS can run on classic TOS. More or less.
+ It is intended to run within the FreeMint environment.
+ However there is no support for networking
+ right now. Networking support for FireTOS is maybe possible
+ in the future.
+ NS also has problems with Path conversions on all FileSystems
+ running under TOS. Try setting full paths within the Choices file.
+
+
+2.) Question:
+ I DON'T HAVE AN 15 BIT GRAPHICS CARD, HOW TO RUN NETSURF ANYWAY?
+
+ Answer:
+ You need to trigger the config a bit.
+ enable the following Choices settings:
+
+ atari_font_driver:vdi
+ atari_transparency:0
+ suppress_images:1
+
+ This will run netsurf as a bloat textmode browser :)
+
+3.) Question:
+ WHEN I WANT TO RUN NETSURF IT SAYS: "SOCKET NOT CONNECTED"
+
+ Answer:
+ Take a look at the system requirements! I statet NetSurf needs
+ the latest FreeMiNT 1.17 RELEASE. There was a bug within previous
+ Versions. Please update your kernel. OR install polipo proxy
+ provided as RPM within sparemint distribution. This is an
+ workaround, it should work out of the box. But if you want to
+ use the polipo disk-cache you should edit the config file.
+
+4.) Question:
+ I'M GETTING "INSUFFICENT MEMORY" MESSAGES WHEN RUNNING NETSURF.
+
+ Answer:
+ Try to increase the TPA_INITIALMEM Configuration value within MINT.CNF
+
+5.) Question:
+ A PAGE CRASHES - WHAT CAN I DO?
+
+ Answer:
+ Try to increase the stack memory for netsurf with the stack tool,
+ example:
+ stack -S 3000k ./ns.prg
+
+ If this results in "insufficent memory" messages - look for the
+ FAQ entry.
