The name of the Red Hat 8.0 release is "Psyche".

Lack of distributed rpms shouldn't be a problem. We can create them if 
needed. Red Hat 8.0 includes an elinks package, as well.
address@hidden XFree86-4.2.1]$ whichcd -v 8.0 elinks

Searching for elinks...
CD-2:elinks-0.3.2-1.i386.rpm
SOURCE-CD-2:elinks-0.3.2-1.src.rpm

However, this is _not_ the same links available from:

The Red Hat included (e)links is a text only browser.
