I never use lynx in X.  I don't know of a way to switch between two .cfg 
files.  Since you do not have zgv, you should set lynx.cfg to use xli and 
use lynx in X when you want to view images.  You can still use it in 
console mode but it won't display the images when you click on them.
You also need to set the options (type 'o') if you want to see links to 
images and/or verbose image names.

I have set up zgv in my lynx.cfg (which I think Karolis used, not sure) as 
the viewer for gif png tiff jpeg pnm and bmp - does xli view all of these?
Just replace all zgv with xli.
VIEWER:image/gif:xli %s    etc.

I also have lynx set to use timidity and mplayer as VIEWERS.  Steven 
figured out how to do this for links and I adapted it a bit.

See my lynx.cfg file (it is at my site, if not in Karolis' package).
In lynx.cfg:

DOWNLOADER: View tables/frames with links:/usr/local/bin/lins %s:TRUE

I also have it set to view pdf as text with pdftotoext (from xpdf) or with 
svp (an svgalib-based pdf viewer that also needs ghostscript).  xpdf does 
not work with the X setup in BL3.

I think the spelling is y'all, and the word is used as a standalone 
pronoun (without a following noun).  In Michigan state it is 'you guys'.
Some areas use 'youse' as the plural.
