The most popular TextBrowser. Comes standard on most Unix installs.

With the advent of cell phones and palmtops, perhaps Lynx is no longer the most common text-only browser.

In my hands, http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/action=editprefs returns


Invalid UserID 111, preferences not saved.
(Preferences require cookies, but no cookie was sent.)

when one tries to register preferences here using either lynx or w3m

ii  lynx-ssl       2.8.4.1b-3     Text-mode WWW Browser supporting SSL
ii  w3m            0.3-2          WWW browsable pager with excellent tables/fr

on Debian 3.0r0 (woody)

Both of these browsers support use of cookies at least to some degree at other sites.

I have exactly this problem with my own installation of usemod. I've installed it on a Yopy. Everything works fine except preferences which returns the error message above. I've tried multiple browsers (all of them with cookies enabled, nothing works. .. any ideas gratefully received.
