+FBpic is a simple command to view ppm files on the linux frame buffer.
+There are no command line switches, the ppm file is just read in from
+stdin. You must have your framebuffer set up to display graphics.
+
+
+EXAMPLES:
+
+To display the image /fancyboot/images/main.ppm on the console:
+
+ cat '/fancyboot/images/main.ppm'|fbpic
+
+To scale and display a jpg on the console via Imagemagik:
+
+ convert /fancyboot/images/ntpd.png -scale 1024x768! ppm:-|fbpic
+
+Simple one line slideshow:
+
+ setterm -cursor off;find /path/to/pics/*.jpg|while read; \
+ do convert -scale 1024x768! ppm:-|fbpic;sleep 2;done;setterm -cursor on
+
+Change "scale" to your frame buffer resolution, change /path/to/pics/
+to point to a folder of jpgs and sleep for the delay.
