    Lynx (/usr/ports/lynx) is a text mode http browser.

    To install, connect to the Internet, and then run
    the following commands as root:

    $cd /usr/ports/lynx
    $make install clean

    Once Lynx is installed, use it this way:

    $lynx www.example.com

    I will warn you that playboy.com looks very
    boring in Lynx, but you can browse it much
    faster 8-)

    Too big for an email. Try www.freebsd.org/handbook
    and navigate to chapter 5 ....
