lynx(1) is a text-based web browser. It is a very quick
way of looking up something on the Internet. Sometimes graphics just get in
the way if you know exactly what you're after.
To start lynx, just type lynx at the
prompt:
You may want to specify a site for lynx to open to:
$ lynx http://www.slackware.com |
lynx prints the command keys and what they do at the bottom
of the screen. The up and down arrow keys move around the document, Enter
selects the highlighted link, and the left arrow goes back to the previous
page. Typing d will download the currently selected file.
The g command brings up the Go
prompt, where you can give lynx a URL to open.
There are many other commands in lynx. You can either
consult the man page, or type h to get the help screen for
more information.
