loading a browser

[Keith Heltsley]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention in my previous post. That workstation setup
didn't seem to load a browser.  At least it didn't load lynx.

How do I locate and load it from the RH disks?

Or is there a different one in there, emacs maybe? I've never used emacs for
web or html browsing.

Hi, Keith,

Oops. The Workstation Class Red Hat installation does not install lynx, 
among other tools of interest to folks not using graphical interfaces on 
linux. You've stumbled onto the reason that we recommend the Custom 
Everything installation, or the Server Class installation instead.

You have two choices:

1.)	Reinstall. You probably have little to lose at this point 
reinstalling. This may be the better choice:

2.) Simply install lynx using rpm and any other items you find missing as 
you use linux. To install lynx, find it on the CD ROMs and do:

	rpm -iv lynx
and press tab followed by eneter.

Next, you might want to copy the lynx.cfg file from the Goodies CD ROM to 
your /etc directory. It will give you some important blind friendly 
settings for lynx--like cursor tracking--that make lynx far more user 
friendly for blind users.
This file is in the misc directory on Goodies.
