Not true. I do not mind newbie questions, just don't like spam or 
completely unrelated questions.

The file under Redhat 7.2 you are looking for is lynx-2.8.4-17.i386.rpm.  
It's on a second disk. Assuming you mounted cdrom under /mnt/cdrom you
need to do the following

rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/lynx-2.8.4-17.i386.rpm

to install the application. If it's an upgrade then you follow the 
instruction mentioned previously. Also, there is a program called rpmfind 
which helps you find rpms over the net. You may want to install that one 
too, rpmfind-1.7-2.i386.rpm.

If there are problems with dependencies then you need to install whatever 
else is needed. For new Linux users I strongly recommend to install 
everything to prevent from problems with chasing files and their 
dependencies. That's much easier in Debian but that one has other problems 
which make it just as bad as Redhat or any other distribution. Too much 
automation can hurt you too.
