Well, theres the rub.  Items considered "handy" should not be included.  If 
you needed it the first time around, a "cast lynx" would have taken care of 
it.

I know that lynx is used as a downloader, but I believe that it is for text 
type files only.

Remember, the point of the discussion is to see how far down the installer can 
be reduced while still allowing the machine to boot and begin installing from 
the net.
