Wikipedia on the n800

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are projects that put wikipedia snapshots onto DVD and CDRom
images. These have all the links converted to relative links so pages
can be browsed on the CD without needing a webserver.

Just download download the *.iso, as well and open/mount it. Then copy
it's contents to a large enough SD Card and you should be good.

Here's one such project. There may be others:
