I'd like to get some thoughts together for producing a text only version of an existing site, and wondered if this is best done with an alternative theme, or maybe another service outside of drupal.

I'm thinking of using the theme switcher module to produce a low graphic/text only version of the site and using the theme template to strip out any images (is this possible with PHPtemplate?) The theme switcher uses a dropdown menu that allows anonymous users to switch themes. I'm hoping that the submit form can be changed to allow a 'text only' text link to be used to submit the form.

The other thought I had was to setup a subdomain say text.example.com with a seperate site installed linking to the same DB, but with its own theme

Any shared thoughts would be appreciated.
