during startup, raggle searches for those browsers:

    ret ||= %w{links elinks w3m lynx explorer.exe}.find { |app| find_app(app) }

depending on links2 would not help much.

both links and elinks "Provide: links", so you can configure your
preferred text-mode Browser using update-alternatives, while elinks will
be default if installed:

      Selection    Alternative
      -----------------------------------------------
      1        /usr/bin/links.main
*+    2        /usr/bin/elinks
 
i'll add elinks to the recommends with the next upload.

most of the browsers provided by the virtual package www-browser aren't
in raggles search statement, a few of them require X. A virtual Package
"www-text-browser" doesn't exist.  

Writing a patch to make raggles browserlist customizable would be a good
idea. I can also make raggle search for "www-browser" in the default
config on debian systems and recommend on www-browser then. 

bye,
