Well, I still can't explain it but I solved it for the fedora installation
the same way as I did for the debian one: I got rid of the current
installation (the one from fedora) by doing "yum remove lynx" and
downloaded and compiled 2.8.5-rel1 from the lynx website. Interestingly,
when I removed fedora's version, I was told it was removing 2.8.5-1 but I
was pretty sure it had said 2.8.5.dev16 when I checked i before. There
were other little ideosyncracies, like the fedora lynx installation using
fedora as the startfile even though that wasn't what the lynx.cfg had for
a startfile; made me wonder what else they might have over-ridden. At any
rate, with my new install fresh from lynx, the Pine site and the opensound
site downloaded for me with no problem, AND ..... the Redhat 9 manual is
there in all its glory. So I can't explain why it doesn't happen to
everybody, but it seems to have had something to do with the .dev16
release. Other than that I can't say, but maybe somebody will be
comforted and encouraged if they have a weird problem with lynx and see my
saga in the archives.
