That was probably zgv. You can use it from the command line too, e.g.
$ zgv b5.jpg
You can make Lynx generate links for inline images by pressing "*", or
turn this on all the time by editing /etc/lynx.cfg and looking for the
line "#MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES:FALSE". You'll still only get a text
view of the web page, but you can load each picture separately in zgv.
BTW, if you're using Lynx, I really recommend you try upgrading to the
latest version, at least 2.8.1. This gives you progressive display of
pages, which is *really* good for looking at Slashdot. (But make sure
you still have a copy of the old .deb around in case it doesn't work.)
