I think you are talking about persistent cookies. First lynx has to have that compiled in. I got it and compiled it, because simply setting things in .lynx.cfg did not work. After compiling it with persistent cookies, it saved them. --enable-persistent-cookies flag is what must be used. You can read about it in /usr/doc/lynx/lynx_help/Lynx_users_guide.html This is what I have in ~/.lynx.cfg, but it only worked after I recompiled: -------------- # COOKIE_FILE is the default file to store persistent downloaded cookies # in, if Lynx was compiled with EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES. The cookie file # can also be specified in .lynxrc or on the commandline. COOKIE_FILE:~/.lynx_cookies # PERSISTENT_COOKIES is tested only if Lynx was compiled with # EXP_PERSISTENT_COOKIES. Use this flag to disable the feature. PERSISTENT_COOKIES:TRUE -------------- I also set dselect so that lynx was on hold so that a new version would not be installed. If you use apt-get, you need to change lynx from 'install' to 'hold' in /etc/apt/selection.lst At least that is what I figured, since it would replace it with a newer version when one comes out and I assume it would put in the default without persistent-cookies.
