Thanks for going to all this work, JP.  I've been curious to try this
graphical Links for awhile but have not found the time to compile it.  I
did the download and installed it on a BL2 machine (Steven: I got my BL2
target machine booting again, so I may be able to help out some more on
the browser front).  When I run Links, though, I get no graphics.  I
understand it has to be run under X, so the way I start it is to open an
xterminal in Icewm after I've done startx, and type "links."  The browser
starts, and when I look under "about" it tells me I'm using Links 2 pre9.
So, all that seems to be in order.  But no graphics are displayed - it's
only working in text mode.  What am I doing wrong?  I understood that the
various graphical libraries needed by this Links are already compiled into
the tgz package.  Is that not correct?  Will I still need to install those
libraries to get graphics?

Thanks, James

To get graphics, start it like this:
--------
links -g
--------

Cheers,
