lynx might not be installed...

assuming you are root...

which lynx
is going to turn up nothing so either you didn't log in as root (or
didn't 'su -' to root) or it ain't there.

if
rpm -qa|grep lynx
returns nothing but the next prompt, it ain't installed. 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.
