Clever.  You may also need ide-cd.o and isofs.o to read data CDs.

Karolis's version is 2.8.16.  For either version please also update 
cert.pem from cacert.pem.gz at my site.  And keep it updated - I put a 
link to the update URL in my blfiles.htm.

You need libresolv and libdns from libc to use lynx online (or the IP 
number instead of the name of the site).  They do not show up as 
dependencies with ldd.  I should put a note about that.  I used the glibc 
ones.  If you install the complete glibc (part of which is needed by 
Opera) they will be in there.

David Moberg figured this out.  His uclibc-static lynx also needed them.

I don't want to include them in my package because they have libc 
dependencies (BL3 and BL2 use different versions of them).

Get Karolis's 2.8.6 lynx instead.

Unless you boot from floppy BL3.
