Re: Lynx Problems
I'm in danger of displaying and attitude here... I use netscape but
consider it to be the worst piece of software that I have on any Linux
box of mine. GUI web browsers that I have used on Linux are all junk
in my opinion!
Lynx OTOH is a "typical" UNIX program. I have never seen Lynx crash,
hang, or fail in any way and have never heard anyone else claim that
it has for them.
Lynx help is VERY good. The help and keystroke pages are treated just
like any other "web page" except that there is no waiting for a response!
For all the years that I have used Lynx, I have to admit that so far
I have not even scratched the capability of that program.
You can search the help pages with "/key string" which can be quite
handy.
Probably the biggest problem for people used to netscape type browsers
is that Lynx with do everything that they do (sans waste bandwidth
downloading huge, and usually useless, graphic images) and a whole lot
more but things are done in a "different" way.
