Oh, ok. I never heard of it before, the only text browser I ever used was lynx.

I have only these two:

Code:

bill@darkstar:/etc$ d /var/log/packages/poppler-
poppler-0.24.3-i486-1        poppler-data-0.4.6-noarch-1

Mine is the Slackware 14.1 distro.

Slackware has htmlview, which calls the links text only browser. Lynx is also available for slackware. You could either save to text, or copy & paste into nano without installing anything or using X. HTML viewers in my experience choke on more involved & fancy html.

I already found the man page file left by the compilation of the ffmpeg package sources. I only had to add its path to the MANPATH environment variable, following one of the posters' advice. This makes the thread title question now pointless in regard to me. Thanks everybody.
