Apparently since 7.2 (and without any notice ?). I > found the following post from a Lynx user:
Redhat doesn't communicate with upstream developers (that's as politely as I can think to put it - sometimes their bug reports state that the issue was forwarded to upstream, but my experience on that is that it was not actually done). > I still think they could remove some bloat and readd Lynx.

(No accounting for taste - I did look at the 8.0 links and found it just as ugly as the copies that I've compiled for myself). -- T.E.Dickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
