The description of Lynx (from lynx
Quote:
Lynx is a text browser for the World Wide Web.
As such, it will not be able to view javascript as Netscape and Explorer do. You might want to check out Mozilla if you are not wanting to use Netscape or Explorer.

errm well simply, no. you need some type of graphics initialization to render things like webpages. there are many many minimalist window managers, there is even onei recall seeing on http://freshmeat.net which is just for using xterm, nothing else. it dosnt even draw window borders, just displays an xterm. from there you could start mozilla or some other browser. but, x will be running.
