Hmm..:
Version of Lynx
Unix version (pop-up list with other and a slot for other?)
The central point for me is the question "Would you be willing to
help others who have a host system and/or want a tailored
configuration like yours?" If that's a yes, what I think we need
to capture into [something that can be searched somehow] is the
same stuff that goes in the "ideal bug report." Host
environement precisely identified and major compilation options
chosen. A key fill-in is "Where should someone start to learn
more about your configuration? Where someone like Duncan or Bela
has explicitly compiled something for binary installation, that
is likely to be a ReadMe.html file somewhere. On the extreme
low end the starting place is an email address or mailto: URL.
There is also the possibility that the preffered starting point is
an ftp URL for a directory or readme.txt .
Where found Lynx
Where heard of Lynx
Why chose Lynx
Extra comments about Lynx.
This market research is nice, but it is not part of answering the
question for a later would-be installation-creator: "What is the
already working version of the software in a situation the most
like mine that I can find?"
