Hello Roy -

CA>> Try using LINKS or LINKS2. I'd be very surprised if
CA>> KNOPPIX did not include that. It's a text-only browser but
CA>> it retains a good deal of the HTML layout (tables etc.)
CA>> from the page and can display individual graphics if you
CA>> wish to see one. Kinda slick really. :-) 

RJT> I haven't tried those yet (or lynx :-) 

VERY fast using either LINKS or LYNX but LINKS maintains the
layout closer to what was designed for the webpage. 

RJT> but there's a lot of sites out there that do some really
RJT> bad stuff... 

Yes, there are and the number is increasing every day. 

RJT> For example, using graphic elements for the menu items. I
RJT> can diddle the size of text in firefox with a simple

RJT> items like that, they're unaffected. 

If they use the 'alt' tag to label the graphic it helps for
those having problems with the webpage. 

RJT> Lots of really *bad* web sites out there! 

Newbies are being encouraged to use W3C recommendations without
being told that no browser has caught up to those new codes as
yet. Then, when they want audio/video/animation they are told
to use FLASH even for small audio files. I intervened for
awhile on usenet then just gave up. It was becoming too time
consuming with everyone working against me. :-(
