It works for me in ext2 BL2 with links2, links-0.93, and lynx.

Since the search is with google on baslinux xxx, the sponsored links 
include Free Sex Videos XXX and XXX Porn Naked Females Free Links to the 
Hottest Ladies.  Maybe xxx could be changed to 'topic'?

You are seeing the underlying HTML with all the tags, rather than the 
rendered version.  Ron, does this also happen when you use your loop 
version of BL?

Sometimes links does this when I try to use it with lynx as a downloader, 
it displays raw HTML.

You can bookmark it with links (ESC, F, bookmark link) but that won't help 
much.

When might you be brave enough to make a linux partition?  Can you add a 
hard disk?
