Available at linuxpackages.net version 030709 2003 for Slackware 9.0.
4MB download including the 2MB font package.

Also available is w3m 0.5 2002 (with added support for Asian languages) 
for Slackware 10.0, which refused to compile for me even after I compiled 
libgc.  Complained about long long (Chinese characters?) and sqrt and even 
not finding libgpm (which is there).

I have not tested either of these.

linuxpackages has the same lynx 2.8.51 and dillo 0.8.6 that I already 
compiled.

retawq does not work correctly at that site - won't keep the 'any' 
setting and thus only looks for SW13 packages.

elinks does not access the first of two SEND links at fastmail but there 
is a second SEND at page bottom.  Lynx (all versions) will not do a REPLY 
- it produces an error pages about hitting ENTER instead of clicking on a 
button, with the new interface. The old interface is going away.  I 
reported the problem.  w3m and retawq and links2 work.

I downloaded (over a wet phone line in 30 min) lynx 2.8.8 dev1 and 
compiled and packaged and uploaded it.  I still can't make persistent 
cookies persist in a cookies file.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/lynx288dev1-glibc225.tgz.

1.0MB package with documentation but without the 500K of CHANGES since 
2.8 or more prior to that.  The binary though glibc-dynamic is still 
larger than uclibc 2.8.6 or glibc-static 2.8.5.  I added my own lynx.cfg 
and lynx.lss.  My lynx.cfg uses msmtp and various viewers and sound 
players and my lynx.lss works with TTL monitor.

gpm mouse works with all the browsers but only to cut phrases, not to 
access links.  Does it work for other people?  I have serial mouse.
