In response to Simon Mendosa From: Simon Mendoza <simon_v_mendoza@yahoo.com> To: Kremlin Vostok <kremlin@primus.com.au>; FreeBSD Mailing List <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, August 20, 1999 6:23 AM Dunno how you can call lynx "user friendly" ...... maybe it is to an expert but sure isn't for newbies, which I understand is the user base of this particular list. FreeBSD docs generally are heaps more intelligible to newbies than any of that linux stuff, and a dedicated newbie mailing list is the best idea yet, but from my point of view at least, advice as to what application is user friendly or otherwise needs to be factual and relevant to someone at newbie level. Where does one find info on configuring Lynx ...... there isn't anything at the homepage, or anywhere else I can find for that matter. I posted that question on several local mailing lists in Australia and after I got through all the typical "its easy, just read the HOWTO" responses I have learned to expect from "experts" .... I eventually found that in fact nobody had managed to get lynx working at all, whether in *nix or windows. I'd like to use lynx .in both windows and *nix situations, but without any proper info on how to get it working its no use whatsoever to me. The problems I had .... and others too .... were "startfile not found" (even though its where it should be and uncommented), "temp" file can't be opened" (even though permissions are correct), and similar stuff to that.
