Okey - I just did this recently. Here is what you need: 1) Root access 2) Internet access (doh!) to test (well, not really, but, hey, if you have bundles locally, you wouldn't need this!). 3) wget Type in: wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/9/en/os/i386/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.5-11.src.rpm && rpm -ivh lynx-2.8.5-11.src.rpm Once you get the code, install it like you normally would and you should be lynx free! Test it and see if you are copasetic.

Dont you have LINKS (http://links.sourceforge.net/) or LYNX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)) for text mode browsing in Linux? You could use them.

Links is a text-based browser with support for HTML tables and frames.

Check a Links screenshot here: http://links.sourceforge.net/screenshots/this_page.png
