Hey...this is easy to fix
in your home directory (the one you start in right when you log in)
type:
mkdir ~/tmp
You only have to do that for the root user and the one unprivlaged user you

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

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.
