Lynx is a secure, fast, integrated web-browser.

Integrated, in that one can directly load pages and links into other programs from lynx.
It also serves as a file manager on the local machine, no shell command knowledge required.

You can view PDFs and images in their default viewers by clicking them.
Webpages and links can be passed to your default web-browser or wget just as easily. No cut 'n paste required.
Of course, if you like to cut & paste all text can be copied.

You might like to use it with Firefox, or G-Chrome.

Search and find using lynx. Once you've determined the site is real and safe (peek at the code with the backslash key) load the Chrome or Firefox browser right from lynx.

1. What's the benefit, exactly?

In the lynx for FD64 thread is samples-lynx-2.8.7.pet, with icons and a few sample files. This can be used by all versions of Puppy.

Please test this pet.
If you don't like it perhaps you'd prefer the simpler and lighter elinks or w3m?

2. Does it really work?

Testing some of my own advice... testing... testing... 1-2-3.

Ringtones from my old msWin version of wakeAlarm:

(i) http://ieinc.ca/Alarm/WAVES/AHOO.WAV
(ii) http://ieinc.ca/Alarm/BLUESBRO.WAV

Try this with your run-of-the-mill text-browser

Lynx works!

Hope you like it and have fun today.

In the Puppy 4 PET there is this config file "/root/.pinerc". Should it be there? I have not checked the Puppy 5 PET.
