What is Lynx?

[micromonster]

What is Lynx? All I know about it is that it, is some sort of 'text browser'. How does one use it? Is it pre-installed in Windows or will I have to download it from somewhere? Please help. Thanks.

lynx is a UNIX/Linux text-based broswer.. it comes default on some Linux distributions, but may need to be compiled and installed on other UNIX systems...

i haven't heard of a version that supports Windows...

command syntax for lynx is:

lynx

http://www.site.com

or

lynx-color

http://www.site.com

lynx-color may not be too common, but it's around..

good luck...

it's a type of wild cat!

just joking.... Like the gentleman said its a text broser. if you were wanting to be able to not download pics to speed up your browsing, you can uncheck that option in IE. but you probably know that!

You can use wget for windows to retrieve web pages. It can be found at

You can mirror sites with it.
