As I wait for that helpful soul to come along... I think I'm going to try this:
Install Easy Debian so I can run debian scripts... then install [elinks_0.11.4-3_arm.deb] file...
Does that sound good or will my n900 explode?

I think easy debian should work for that, no problems. There is a maemo build of lynx but I also prefer links/elinks.

You can probably install that package directly into maemo. If it doesn't have special dependencies and stuff then it should work. Backup settings before trying.

The chase: I've been searching for how to get Elinks on the n900..
All I came up with, after searching the wikis and other non-affiliated maemo sites, were different posts about it being available for diablo in the diablo dev extras repos. Can this work with fremantle somehow?
I don't know how to cross-platform port or anything... Is there a published way on how to get Elinks on the n900?
Again, I've done my research.. and for no conclusive answer...I didn't just post.
I don't need an exact answer... a link in the right direction will suffice; although, I may come back with another question since I'm not as computationally skilled in the Linux realm as the majority of you guys..
Thanks in advance.

The responses are well appreciated- thank you.
I already have lynks installed and have been using it regularly. I do, however, prefer to use Elinks.
Due to dependencies, I can not install the elinks deb file directly into maemo5.
So far, I downloaded Easy Debian and installed Elinks lite via the Synaptic app manager... It works sufficiently well; however, it is not optimal as it would be if I was running it directly from the native maemo terminal...
Seeing that I downloaded Elinks within easy debian.. can I run a series of commands from the native terminal so that I can use Elinks from there?
Thanks for the help..

i looked at this page
http://maemo.org/packages/
and found at least 3 version(elinks,links and links-hacked)
you can enable devel repos and use apt-get or something else for use it
//upd
sorry, elinks not for fremantle
but links and links-hacked for fremantle(last one have some unicode throubles in xterm mode)

You should be able to just open "debian chroot" and run it from there, I think.

Running it from debian chroot works actually. Thank you very much for the pointer stlpaul.
