After examining the lynx package, I have learned a little more about how
it handles the homepage. The homepage is specified in lynx.cfg. It is
stored in the STARTFILE variable. The homepage only loads if no URL is
specified on the command line or in the WWW_HOME environment variable. I
also found a patch called "01_default-config.dpatch", which is used to
configure the default lynx settings for ubuntu. One thing it does is
change the default STARTFILE from "http://lynx.isc.org/"; (the default
lynx homepage) to "file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html"
(the default lynx homepage on ubuntu). This makes it very easy to change
the default lynx homepage on ubuntu. All we would need to do is modify
the dpatch.
