I already had a note about needing these two libraries for 2.8.5 lynx.  I 
added one for the uclibc 2.8.6 versions.  You also need a non-busybox gzip 
for them to avoid errors in uncompressing temporary files.  I have a link 
to Karolis's package and to gzip.  Get the two library files from 
Slackware 4.0 (or 7.1 if you install glibc) and be sure to symlink them 
(ldconfig or manually ln -s libnss_dns-2.2.6.so libnss_dns.so.2 etc.)

Please read my blfiles.htm before installing my packages.  Let me know if 
anything should be added to it.
