OK, I'm on matroxfb 1024x768x16bpp.

Yes. A "feature" ?

Yes, it'd. It uses:

make install
make install-help
make install-doc

It also installs README in 2 places with a 'cp -a README
/usr/lib/lynx'.

BTW, is there any reason to install lynx.lss twice ? I thought
it was built-in, and it works (just prints 'Lynx file
/usr/local/share/lynx/lynx.lss is not available.') if it's only
in the samples directory.
