you don't need it

I have no lynx and it is really an old "dinosaure" compare to links 2.1.9

you do not need seejpeg ... 

yes it cannot be on the ramdisk or it need to compil a new kernel with larger 
ramdisk support ( maybee i never do that ... ) or maybee with cramfs support

i compile only for all purpose not for specific it's not difficult to do it 
your self get the D series from slackware then do in the source directory of 
what you want to compil ./configure --help to seee options then make and make 
install

Someone onlist recently asked about Pine and possible dependency issues
under BL2.  Last night I installed Pine from the Slack71 CD
(/n8/pine.tgz).  This installed Pine 4.21.  It ran without any dependency
problems.  I don't have a strictly "stock" BL 2 install, but pretty close.
I've installed MC and its dependencies, as well as upgrading mount and
related file (installed util.tgz).  Other than that, I think it's just
simple BL2.  So, if anyone wants to know about a BL2-compatible email
client, it seems Pine 4.21 from the Slack71 CD is the ticket.  As a final
note, I did check to see if it is POP compliant (meaning it allows you to
check and manipulate pop mail on the server) and it is.  It also does smtp.
The only possible catch would be for those concerned about security: some
security updates have been made to Pine and are certainly available in
newer versions.  Whether there are security patches for older versions of
Pine, I don't know.

Thank you for this information.  It will be very useful to
anybody who wants a solid text-mode mail client.

It would be useful to have brief details of where to enter
the addresses of the pop server and the smtp server.  Also,
is there a command in pine for uploading/downloading the mail?

Cheers,
Steven
