Lynx 2.8.6 - Lynx text browser for Minix 32 bits (2.0.2/2.0.3/2.0.4 and VMD). Lynx 2.8.6 dev 11 ***************** These is a compiled version of lynx 2.8.6 dev 11. It was tested under Minix 2.0.2 32 bit, but should work in 2.0.3/2.0.4 and Minix-VMD. The code in under development. Please check all the README file before attempting any test. The binary have SSL code compiled into. Use lynx test.html to jump to tests site where you can try connectivity and SSL certificates. Instalation and testing ----------------------- Move the files from the ./bin directory to /usr/local/bin Move the files into ./lib directory to /usr/local/lib. The lynx.cfg file is searched in this default directory. Check that you have /usr/local/bin in your PATH variable, using # echo $PATH After try using the command # lynx test.html and connect to different sites to test functionality (http/https/nntp/ftp) If you use modem to connect, start your favourite daemon first (ppp/slip). ***************************************************************************** lynx -version will show you the following signature. ********* Lynx Version 2.8.6dev.11 (05 Jan 2005) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.6l Compiled at (Feb 4 2005 23:32:04).

See http://www.moxienet.com/lynx/ for information about SSL for Lynx. See http://www.openssl.org/ for information about OpenSSL. ********* If you have a display like "Memory Exhausted" you must chmem the lynx image with bigger memory. Add increments of 512000 bytes. If you notice strange issues working with lynx or getting news, also add increments of 512000 bytes with chmem. lynx uses several buffers in memory, mainly for news indexs, and for page cache and certificates. Also it uses /tmp directory for downloading and temporary files, be sure to have plenty of disk space. For configuration read the lynx.cfg file, at the end I added the configuration keys that I use at home. Requirements ============ lynx uses 3MB memory. I recomend to have 8MB minimum of memory. IMPORTANT ********* OpenSSL, Zlib and Socket Emulation are in testing for Minix. Let me know any detail/problem/issue that you identify and how I can reproduce it. Try using -trace that creates the file Lynx.trace at your login directory. e-mail me to know how to transfer the files (please compress it before!!). -------------- Claudio Tantignone. Feb. 2005.
