I tried to build minimo a few times on my Qube, but it never worked.
There is a lot of conflicting info about how to build it, but the
problems I was getting didn't look like config problems, they looked
like code compatibility problems (from what my feeble mind can
comprehend anyway).

Went back to the above mentioned page and it looks like this guy may
be joining us to tell us about his exploits soon. I can't wait, I'd
really like to see how minimo works on my Mobilepro 880. Dillo is just
about infuriating... mMosaic is slightly better.
