Hello all,
the FAQ entry 2.15 now has a reference to
/usr/share/doc/smm/05.fastfs/paper.ascii.gz. While Netcrap can easily
cope with this, and displays the file, lynx cannot do it by default.
However, lynx provides for a good control about which `downloaders'
are availabe, and FreeBSD ships with zmore(1) by default. zmore can
display either compressed, gzipped, or plain text files using
${PAGER:-more}. Hence, adding the following rule to our default
lynx.cfg would IMHO be a big win for our users:
DOWNLOADER:Display using zmore(1) (plaintext, .Z or .gz files are allowed):zmore %s:TRUE
What do you think about this? (Note that lynx is also offered by
sysinstall to browse through the documentation, that's why in noticed
it.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
