Details

Description:
Include 'links' command line browser in /core repo as well as core installation iso.

Additional info:

'links' is currently in /extra. It would be quite advantageous to be included in /core as well as on the live install iso, for the convenience of users in need of web resources from the base system. Since part of the concept of /core is to include one basic tool per task, 'links' would be an obvious plus.
This task depends upon

During my first installation of ArchLinux I encountered the issue where I was forced to visit a weblogin page provided by my ISP in order to gain Internet access. Prior to that I was unable to utilize Pacman, leaving me with a rather stagnant system without the ability to add or upgrade any packages.

Users without access to another PC or a printer, and who are unable to print out wiki documentation would benefit greatly from this. It will also expand the usefulness of the live environment by including a cli browser on the iso by default.

on the iso links is already available, but not as package to install, but this will change when it moves to core.
