	hm.

compunction:/home/crank# update-alternatives --config www-browser

There is only 1 program which provides www-browser
(/usr/bin/links2). Nothing to configure.

	bit more help? i never actively use update-alternatives for 
anything; it's been one of those programs i only use when someone tells me 
to. ;D

	nah, i use links2 plenty, especially when something wants java - 
but it's never been my default from pine.
