Hi. This is not generally related to Gentoo, but I can telly for a fact that if you use Debian's elinks, it is not built with bittorrent or javascript suppport. Any of you know what is the best way to deal with this? On a side note, I can't fiure out why it wouldn't bwe built without javascript. BTW, how well does elinks work with Javascript? That is, how does it handle such things as client-side popups and the like? B/c many times, JavaScript is used to generate dialog boxes and for client-side validation of data before it gets sent to the server, amonst other things.
