When I try running Lynx from the console, I get a message,
"Metamail: Can't open temporary file!"
It even happened if I uninstalled metamail. What's up
with that, I can't use X-Windows because my system is too slow, so I
want to use the good old text browser.
Can anyone

find the errors in it though, not supposed to be used for daily use!)

Hello List,
I am new to linux-mandrake and after a clean install when I tried to use
my lynx browser from the console I get the message "Can't open temporary
file! I have been using various Linux Distro's since 1992 and never had
this happen with lynx before. I would appreciate any insight that

Brian - I asked the same question. What you
need to do is to create a ~/tmp directory.

Does anybody know how to fix this?
When in console mode.. I give the command "lynx" and the response that I
get
is .. "metmail: cannot open temporary folder"
TIA
Mike Julien
All you need to fix that problem is a tmp directory in your home directory, so
just type 'mkdir ~/tmp' (without the quotes) and then Lynx will work.

To fix it, "mkdir ~/tmp"
For so
yep, same problem. I never use it so can't say that I've configured it or
anything, just as it is out of the mandrake 6 cd. I wonder if they goofed
on the install from the mandrake 6 cd somehow?
I rarely use netscape, just when I have to ftp or view a shockwave file (my
business), and normally
