Re: [newbie] Lynx: Follow Up
Well, it is fixed in the next version of Mandrake. (This version is to find the errors in it though, not supposed to be used for daily use!)

Anybody have any ideas? Type md ~/tmp at the command prompt. Hey, it worked. So you have to have a ~/tmp directory in your home directory. Why couldn't this have been compiled to use the /tmp directory? Oh well.. Thanks to everybody.

You'll find that a number of packages are moving away from a system-wide /tmp and are moving to user owned tmp directories. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corp.
