try: STARTFILE:file://localhost/usr/doc/lynx/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html in /etc/lynx.cfg This is the default locatuion for the lynx help file. or make this file to point lynx at: <--cut here--> <html> <head> <title>This is a dummy page</title> </head> <body> Lynx should be displaying this page I hope </body> </html> <--cut here--> > > alternatively you can specify a URL on the command line: > > > > bash$ lynx http://www.debian.org > > tried that a hundred times .... always "STARTFILE not found" Hmmm... This suggests a problem with your internet connection: is your connection up when you try this? did you configure nameservers for your location? do other network apps function ok (ftp, telnet)? > none of that is much use if I can't get to any URL in first place :( That's why it's at the end :) -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 39679408
