Dillo Party!

Why emulate a sun3?  To host a No-Limit Texas Hold-Em tournament party - and use an emulated sun3 to run the Dillo web-browser to display the poker hand rankings.  Parties get craaaaazyy with emulated sun3 web browsing!


Hosting your own Dillo party FAQ:

Q: When I build a large package (such as perl), NetBSD inside the emulator runs out of pipes and the build fails.  How can I finish building?
A: When building from source, don't redirect the build output to a file.  Just watch it on the console.  As soon as the build fails due to being out of resources, enter 'halt', reboot, then 'make' again.  It will eventually complete.

Q: The named daemon running in the emulated sun3 is quick finicky, and exits whenever I do anything resource intensive (such as pkgsrc builds).  How can I do builds without it?
A: Hardcode the netbsd ftp site into /etc/hosts directly with its IP: 204.152.184.36.  After all building is complete, restart the nameserver and Dillo will rock-n-roll.

Q: Why Dillo?  Can't I run Firefox or some other type of web-browser in my ultra-cool emulated Sun3?
A: Dillo is the only graphical web-browser I found that successfully built on a Sun3.  So Dillo it is!
