You will need to install it from one of the CD's ... start with binary disc 3 mount /mnt/cdrom ls -l /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/lynx* if it's there... rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/lynx* or rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/lynx-2.8.4-18.i386.rpm (or whatever version is on the cd) if not... umount /mnt/cdrom insert binary disc 2 start with the mount command again... On RH 7.3 lynx-2.8.4-18.i386.rpm is on binary (Installation) disc 3 but first...do you have an internet connection established? Lynx is a text based web browser but if you ain't connected to the internet or a LAN based web server that you want to connect to...lynx ain't gonna help.
