redhat speakup distribution and lynx.

[Ed Barnes]

Hi Janina and list.
Your message below Janina leads me to ask one question.
I setup this system using a server install and installed all the package 
groups other than the ones which were what I'll refer too as x package 
groups, kde, gnome, X-windows, etc for example, however; this did not 
install lynx, it installed only links and not both.
So, this brings up the question, did I do something wrong when I installed 
if I got only Links and not both Links and Lynx.
Or, does the server class install also not install Lynx.
I installed it after using rpm however I am curious and if I am correct 
the problem Nectarios describes is not a by-product of his installation 
choice, I.E. workstation vs server.
Do you have any thoughts.
Thanks for reading and hope you're having a good Friday as I know you're 
looking forward to your vacation.
Best regards,
Ed Barnes
