Hello there, links2 is actually a compatibility link to links (ls -l /usr/bin/links2 if you have www-client/links installed) and it would probably be nice to update documentation to reflect this. I did a grep of the tree and apparently a quick sed s:links2:links:g should fix all documents. Thanks, Marcelo
Is this true for all installation CDs we have? I remember using links2 in the handbook instead of links because some architecture didn't have links while they all had links2 (either the binary or as a symlink to links).
I haven't checked, but all should either have links+links2 symlink and/or lynx. Before 2005.1's launch, 2.1_pre15 was stable on all arches but MIPS and right now 2.1_pre17 is stable on all arches but MIPS.
See why we really need a complete `ls -lR` of all files on released media. The listings we have do not contain any listing of the LiveCD squashed filesystem. For instance, install-amd64-minimal-2005.1.iso.CONTENTS shows only a handful of lines, now what's in /livecd.squashfs ? Both alpha & ppc64 have /zisofs/usr/bin/links Boxes I have: x86, hppa, sparc and amd64 have /usr/bin/links (and a links2 symlink) I downloaded the ppc minimal and it also has /usr/bin/links MIPS: no idea If you can't wait until 2006.0, and after the mips guys have confirmed /usr/bin/links exists, the following files could be changed: hb-install-amd64-medium.xml hb-install-hppa-medium.xml hb-install-ppc64-medium.xml hb-install-ppc-medium.xml hb-install-sparc-medium.xml hb-install-stage.xml hb-install-x86-medium.xml 2005.1/hb-install-amd64-medium.xml 2005.1/hb-install-hppa-medium.xml 2005.1/hb-install-ppc64-medium.xml 2005.1/hb-install-ppc-medium.xml 2005.1/hb-install-sparc-medium.xml 2005.1/hb-install-stage.xml 2005.1/hb-install-x86-medium.xml
Currently, no mips install media (whether it be netboot or our *extremely* pre-alpha experimental eat-your-dog livecds) even uses links, or any browser for that matter. Therefore, you can probably ignore us until such time as this changes.
Thanks. Now, we can remove the bit about lynx and use links in the common part (hb-install-stage.xml)

In CVS. Note that of all the hb-install-$arch-medium docs in handbook/draft.2006.0, only the mips doc needed no changes, as it does not/will not include links. Thanks for reporting.
