It is a standard .tgz slackware package.  What I first posted was just the 
executable, while I was working on adding a few things to lynx.cfg.  This 
package includes lynx.cfg.  It does not require a graphical interface, or 
have any dependencies at all (which makes it a bit larger but more broadly 
usable).  The previously compiled lynx-ssl required libncurses.so.5 and 
three other things.  The previous lynx package that I posted did not do 
ssl - I had to compile openssl first to get that part to work.

This is non-graphical, but if you have zgv (downloadable, I think from 
James' site) you can view images as links.  zgv.tgz is a slackware package 
and it works with all my video cards (unlike seejpeg/svgalib).  It has a 
few dependencies.
