Well what' I would do if possible is to modify the system wide lynx.cfg. That way the fix will benefit all users.

Have you tried to override the default start URL in $HOME/.lynxrc?
This wouldn't solve the problem for you system-wide, but it might
prove enough to solve it on a per user basis for those accounts that
use lynx. Hth somewhat.

Ok, but Cheryl said this isn't possible, at least as far as she can
determine, and I made my suggestion taking that into account. Yes,
modifying lynx.cfg would of course be the ideal solution.

That's the whole point. Modifying the lynx.cfg appeared to have no effect.
But thanks for trying to help.

First I looked at my .lynxrc and saw it currently had nothing for the
startfile so I wondered where the startfile that was being unsucessfully
attempted had come from. So I went into lynx and hit o for option and hit
enter on the link for viewing the cfg file. The lynx.cfg was, as I had
thought, /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg. But I noticed there was a line that said
include and had /etc/lynx-cur/local.cfg and under the information for the
local.cfg was listed the startfile which had been unsuccessfully trying to
load. so of course i immediately edited /etc/lynx-cur/local.cfg and
changed the startfile there and that solved the problem. I don't know if
this is a lynx adaptation or a debian adaptation; I suppose the idea is to
make some changes without editing the main lynx.cfg file. I'll have to
look through /etc/lynx-cur/local.cfg and see if anything else I tried to
do in the lynx.cfg file is being overridden. Glad I discovered this.

This problem has been aggravating me for some time and i've searched
google with no luck, so I hope somebody has the answer.
I can't start lynx without typing an url on the command line; it complains
that it can't
find http://www.eauw.local. That url is nowhere in my lynx.cfg and I can't
find it as an environment variable. When I try to change it in the
lynx.cfg, it is ignored and I get the same error. Can somebody tell me
what
to do about this please?!!! I'm running debian unstable. For a while I
couldn't even type lynx google but had to type the whole url but
somewhere along the line that at least seems to have fixed itself.
Tia.
