(Level 2 is now called Core)

This is the x86 version of Level 2 cLIeNUX. Level 2 means a cLIeNUX that is sufficient to be added to from standard Linux application packages downloaded as sourcecode. This means Level 2 contains the complete core of the platform-specific parts of a Linux. cLIeNUX Level 2 therefor includes a C compiler, and most of the standard Linux sourcecode header files for the runtime libraries included in Level 2. Lynx and more and a few other apps were actually built with the included compiler facilities. cLIeNUX Level 2 will build a 2.0 or 2.1 kernel.

Only the C portions of gcc are included. That's still a lot of stuff. So, cLIeNUX Level 2 might as well include a lot of general functionality. Quite a bit of unix functionality can be provided in a few megabytes if the system avoids modern resource hogs like wordprocessors and the X Window System.

cLIeNUX includes the textmode webrowser Lynx, which you are probably using now as part of the cLIeNUX version of the man command. Lynx is very versatile. Pictures can be viewed in cLIeNUX Level 2 with vimage. You can write programs with what you have now in C, GForth, Bash, chat, sed, or dcon.

cLIeNUX emphasizes local documentation. Most commands have manpages, and there are manpages for other topics, as well as HOWTOs and html such as this. Equally as important as having the docs is being able to find them, and being aware that you have them. Most docs are in the /help directory, which is quite consciously placed right in the root directory.

All the basic Internet client functionality is here. telnet, ftp, textmode www browsing, IRC, etc. The pppsetup script and minicom should get you going. LAN connectivity is supported. The identd and fingerd servers are also included, since they have client-use ramifications.

Then to round things out, the sc spreadsheet, the workbone audio CD player, and tt, tetris for terminals.
