Actually, lynx is still there, but I don't know if it's installed by default. I think it goes like this: lynx doesn't support frames, links does lynx supports ssl, links doesn't (didn't?) you can navigate with mouse clicks in links, you can't in lynx The big thing the frames support. I expect that when links has ssl support that lynx will go a way. I don't think Red Hat has a problem with lynx, but the frames support is probably what prompted it to migrate to links.

As an FYI, I've had my Mom using Linux for years (from Red Hat 6.1 up through 7.2) without any problems related to Linux. I had an advantage, though, in that she had never used *any* computer before. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
