Seems so.

For converting to text:
<fjp> IIRC we did use lynx originally. Not sure why we switched to w3m, but
there was a reason...
Ok, now the fun thing. w3m works on my Atari, which also runs stable but
with a 2.4.30 kernel. The Amiga runs the "unstable" kernel, but I don't see
how that should interfer with user space. It also segfaults on my mac, which
also runs 2.6.17. Maybe I have to build d-i while running a 2.4 kernel? I am
trying that on the atari, but the serial connection is so bad, I have
trouble downloading the files. If I can't get this done by sunday, somebody
else will have to take over. I will be mostly away for a couple of weeks,
who wants to take my logs? Stephen already sends some replies, do we need
another taker?
