For some time, I have been trying to find a suitable 
graphical browser for BL3.  I spent a lot of time 
trying to get Netscape 3.04 to work, but it just 
wouldn't run on Xvesa.  I then investigated replacing 
Xvesa with an ancient X server (not much larger than 
Xvesa), but it was missing a capability that Netscape 
needed.  So I tried compiling dillo, but it failed 
(probably because of something missing in the GTK I 
installed from Slackware 4.0).

However (finally!) I have found a graphical browser
that works, and I have just uploaded it to the BL3 
add-ons.

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/add-ons/links2.tgz

The package is less than 2mb in size and it runs happily 
on the default BL3 (no other packages are needed).  Just 
pkg links2.tgz and it will automatically appear in your 
swm menu (in the Internet submenu).  

I would be grateful if some of you would try it and tell
me whether it is OK.

Cheers,
Steven
