I have been searching for tutorials for browsing the Internet using Lynx, but can't seem to find one anywhere. There aren't any tutorial either in those Unix books that I bought. What command do I need to type to download Lynx and what command I need to type to run Lynx on FreeBSD? Secondly, I try to run firefox by typing ... # mozilla & but ... it respond with error msg ... and yes I can connect to the Internet (I pinged google.com). Thanks for any help.

To install Lynx, you can execute the following as root: pkg_add -r lynx but I prefer using the ports to get the SSL version: cd /usr/ports/www/lynx-ssl/ make install clean Then you can start lynx using: lynx <url> If you go to google.com and enter "lynx tutorial", you'll get a list of good resources for learning lynx. The command "mozilla &" is used to start the mozilla browser, which is still available. To start firefox, try "firefox &".
