UNIX: Lynx Browser Set / Change the Default Home Page

To set or change the default home page in the Lynx web browser on a Unix system, you can edit the lynx.cfg configuration file.

The lynx.cfg file is typically located in the /etc or /usr/local/etc directory. To edit the file, you will need to use a text editor, such as vi or nano.

To set the default home page in Lynx, locate the following line in the lynx.cfg file:

STARTFILE:http://www.google.com/

Replace http://www.google.com/ with the URL of the home page you want to use. Save the changes to the lynx.cfg file and exit the text editor.

The next time you start Lynx, the new home page will be used as the default.

It is important to note that you may need to have root privileges to edit the lynx.cfg file. If you do not have root privileges, you can use the -cfg option to specify a different configuration file when starting Lynx. For example:

lynx -cfg=~/.lynxrc

This will use the configuration file ~/.lynxrc instead of the global lynx.cfg file. You can create and edit this file to set the default home page for your user account.
