I have been playing with the latestet FreeDOS 1.3 RC5 and I have
observed that the line:
  if exist %dosdir%\LINKS\NUL set PATH=%path%;%dosdir%\LINKS
in FDAUTO.BAT does not work because LINKS and all the other network
stuff is installed in the C:\NET directory and not into the directory
pointed by %dosdir%. E.g.: LINKS is installed in the directory
C:\NET\LINKS.  Thus the above line in FDAUTO.BAT will never work.
Either the NET directory is removed and its content is moved into
%dosdir% or the above line is adjusted accordingly so it points to
C:\NET.

The second issue is that the DJGPP port of lynx distributed with RC5 is
broken. As I have announced in:
  https://www.delorie.com/archives/browse.cgi?p=djgpp/2021/12/02/18:54:50
the fixed port is available as:
  http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/l290d10b.zip
  http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/l290d10d.zip
  http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/l290d10s.zip
Please note the time stamp of 2021-11-30 or later for the zip files.
Please use the fixed port in your distribution so I do not get bug
reports about things that have already been fixed.

Kind regards,
Juan M. Guerrero
