I would appreciate if some kind soul can help me out with the following
specific problems that I am having on my RH5.2 installation. The most
important issues are first:
1 A test script being accessed with lynxcgi url from a html
does not seem to run properly, seems like either the support
for lynxcgi is not compiled or the string variable is not passed.
The form command in the html is:
<FORM Method="get" Action="lynxcgi:/root/simpleform.cgi">
I suspect that the latter is the problem since lynxexec and others
in the same group complain that there is no compiled support, but
the lynxcgi does not. It is just silent as it shows another
screen.
2 How do I compile lynx to put all the support and should I?
3 There are lot of links on my RH system that refer to machines
outside. I can probably download them. But I do want to retain
their original addresses. So how do I make it such that the
original addresses point to some directory in my computer
where to find these and also how to elegantly resolve the issue
if two of them have the same name at the toplevel. Note that
a lot of these are useful help files and they are actually
available under gnu, so no copyright issue. Just convenience.
4 How do I get the archives of this mailing list on lynx-dev and
other help, and install elegantly on my system so that I do not
have to bother people with already solved questions. But please
do help me about the 1-3 since this is a little survival issue!!!
I support lynx because it cuts out the clutter and garbage that you are
forced to see on other GUI browsers. Thus Lynx must develop and stay
alive! Bravo!!
