Installation

Getrss
At the moment getrss works only for Unix-like systems. No installation required, just unpack the tarball:
#tar xvfz getrss-x.x.tar.gz
Make sure you have a working Python installation in your system
In a (near) future, getrss will be ready to work for any OS and with no need of a previous Python installation.
Gprss
Unpack the tarball and copy the 'gprss' directory to your desired location of the sd card.
Make sure you have a working Python+PyGame installation in your console. You can grab the theoddbot's python and pygame distribution from here.

Usage

Getrss
Type './getrss.py'. The program will try to download, parse and prepare your feeds. A directory named 'feeds_gp2x' will be created. This is the one you must copy to the SD card, inside the 'gprss' location.
Gprss
Open gprss from the "Utility" menu. After a few seconds the main menu will be shown.
