elinks for Debian ----------------- ELinks is a code fork of Links, the original character mode browser of Mikulas Patocka. ELinks provides lots of new features over the original Links codebase, and changes are more rapid. Some believes that Links is more stable because of the few feature change.

(An example default config is provided in /etc/elinks/elinks.conf) To be able to cut&paste with gpm, use SHIFT+MOUSE together and it'll behave as without gpm. With the examples/mailcap.pl you can convert the /etc/mailcap file to elinks.conf format, and append to your config, until it gets supported. -- Peter Gervai , Thu, 9 Oct 2003 01:17:26 +0200 Some questions from bugreports: =============================== Q: Where did the download manager/proxy settings/whatever disappear? A: Please check the menus. Download manager is under Tools>Download, proxy settings is at Setup>Options>Protocols>HTTP>Proxy>Host and port. Familiarize yourself with the options manager. :-) (with contribution by Jonas Fonseca) Q: The "move" doesn't work in the bookmark manager. A: Install the elinks-doc package and read the bookmarks section of the manual to learn how to use this unintuitive feature.

A: Beginning 0.11.3-2, ELinks no longer installs the links alternative and doesn't provide links. ELinks should be invoked as "elinks" and the links package can be installed alongside elinks. -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:23:08 +0530
