   hi - is there a way to view a .png file or .jpg file in the console?

   I have installed fbshot which creates a .png from the framebuffer and want to view back those .png files in the same framebuffer?

   can convert to jpg with ;

   png2pnm img.png | cjpeg > img.jpg

   but how to view?

   Key Master

   fbi displays png,tiff,jpg in kernel framebuffer.
   # tazpkg -gi fbida
   To test system I edit grub menu kernel line with vga=791 screen=text to activate frame buffer and remove slim from /etc/rcS.conf RUN_DAEMONS= to boot to console.
   After login cd to picture files:
   fbi *png <= displays every png in cwd,advance with space bar,pgup,pgdn.
   Using the -t <# seconds> switch for slide show.
   Add slim back to /etc/rcS.conf RUN_DAEMONS= after hald if you want to auto-start X on next boot.

   Had to load freetype and fontconfig but yep, the above worked :)

   I had actually tried to make install fbida from src but ran into too many probs!

   Thanks a mill - please mark SOLVED!
