Elinks connects with the sites I enter but the screen is empty. I see it
connects: it shows the speed and progress of connection. It seems to be
faster than Lynx and Links2 but it shows nothing. No error message and no
complains.

Same results here. Doesn't matter whether the site is remote (e.g.,
google) or local (e.g., hotlist.html). Like it's missing fonts, or fonts
are transparent or something. Same in console as in terminal. Light on
dark or dark on light terminal makes no difference--still blank pages.
Anyway, nice try. I can see that even tabs work.

Odd. I only tested it while chrooted from BL2 to BL3.

I have the same invisibility problem when using elinks directly booted to BL3. Very odd. Maybe compiling it against libc5 would help?
Maybe using strace would find the problem?

Using zgv on a 200K image under elinks (at a website) appears to crash it
(I get a black screen after the image downloads). Still buggy.
Links1 and 2 don't do this (with 512MB RAM).

When I rebooted I got many pages about turning off free blocks or the like. Something bad happened. Can't check it in BL3.

There is link numbering available.

In Setup Terminal Options 'Transparency' is selected by default - would it
help to turn it off if you get invisible pages? Or turn off Color?

It did not help.

Play with this in BL2 only.
