Re: Newbie Lynx and Mozilla Firefox Questions
- Original Message From: linux quest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org Sent: Thursday, January 4, 2007 10:22:25 AM Subject: Newbie Lynx and Mozilla Firefox Questions 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. Regards, Linux Quest -- (The beta version of the new Yahoo! Mail encourages people to reply at the top of the message; so please forgive the lack of symbols preceding lines of the original post. I have sent them a friendly suggestion regarding this issue.) 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 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 &".

Actually (though this is a poor forum for technical discussion), lynx allows one to navigate through frames as if they are a separate page. -- Thomas E.

lynx is found by running sysinstall, then going to configure->packages->all->lynx. I run firefox with firefox& not mozilla&.

You might also want to look at ``links'', a character browser that does frames which may be more useful than lynx.
