I've run into what has turned out to be an interesting situation with
Links and GPM. In my new, and quite minimal, LFS-7.5 system, I could
not "copy and paste" using GPM. In fact, in trying to do this, I got no
highlighting at all. Additionally, I could use none of the keys to
select anything in Links. I thought that this was the first time I had
run into this, but, apparently, I have the same situation on my
{,B}LFS-7.4 system.
I've re-compiled and re-installed, both Links and GPM, trying different
options each time. Nothing helped. The Links page in the book talks
about using libpng, libTIFF and jpeg-turbo to help Links decode images.
I didn't install them because I thought I would be working completely
with text.
In both systems I can "copy and paste" from terminal-to-terminal using
vim and command line as the sources for copying.
So that I can continue to "play" with GRUB, I'm going to build Lynx and
see what happens.
But I sure would appreciate any suggestions on the Links situation.
Thanks,
Dan
