I am running lynx 2.8.5 it came with the version of freedos that I got. freedos 1.0.
I am running freedos through virtualbox on my MacBook pro laptop running mac os 10.6.4. I was going to try and get lynx running. I haven't been able to launch it yet. I used ntool's -g command line option to redirect my network info to wattcp.cfg. I started lynx with: lynx -cfg c:\fdos\lynx\lynx.cfg because I had read in the lynx configuration I could use that, if lynx.cfg wasn't where lynx would look for it. I haven't been able to get lynx to startup yet.
