Indeed. Apparently since 7.2 (and without any notice ?). I found the following post from a Lynx user: http://www.redhat.com/archives/enigma-list/2001-October/msg01250.html Interesting thread. Some reasons: "Because links (smaller) has been added." "Lynx didn't handle frames. Links does." It appears they moved to ELinks in 9.0 (?). IMO Petr Baudis and others are doing a much better job (compared to Links and Links 2), so it's well deserved. I still think they could remove some bloat and readd Lynx. A lot of people still use Lynx or now both, but... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], dyndns.org} ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
