Does links-ssl use the the links.conf file in /root/.links ?
That's where the image associations are set.  If you press:
ESC-Setup-Associations-Modify in links-ssl, you will be able 
to see what associations (if any) it recognizes.

BTW at the site where you downloaded links-ssl is another
version of links:
------------------------------
links          467kb  11/03/02
links-ssl      406kb  05/19/01
------------------------------
Since that version is bigger and more recent, it might do
more of what you want.

So does loadlin.exe.  The fact that Xvesa crashes because
of something left over from DOS, makes me wonder if similar
(but not so spectacular) problems might be occuring elsewhere.

Prior to this, I assumed that once Linux booted, all DOS
traces were obliterated and Linux had a clean run.  Not so.
