Don't know why everybody is having problems getting Lynx 2.8.4. Start Lynx at http://lynx.browser.org, hit enter on the first link, and you get distribution sites that carry lynx 2.8.4 even though the link says 2.8.3. All you need for 2.8.4 is to add "--with-ssl" to the configure command. I would carefully read the install file that comes with it, as there are some really nifty features that aren't enabled by default. It's possible with a really long command line to make a Lynx binary that has all sort of interesting features. No problem compiling on Slack 8 for me, but many others have claimed that stuff that used to compile won't anymore. I've never had a problem, but it may depend on what you compile. I've compiled Timidity, some utilities for my AWE64, XMP, and Linux kernels 2.4.9 and 2.4.10 with Slack 8 without a hitch.
