Question How do I view html documents from the lfs terminal after logging in as root?


I have LFS built on /dev/hdc1, and I can successfully boot to my new LFS installation. This may be a dumb question, but how do I view html documents from this white-on-black screen? I have BLFS copied to /sources/BLFS/6.2.0 and I can cd to that directory and see the entire directory contents, including the *.html. But, how do I view them in order to continue building LFS beyond this rudimentary framework?
Thanks for any feedback.

I used the recommendation in the LFS docs (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...09/reboot.html) and installed Lynx and GPM so that I could open the docs in a second console and copy/paste text between the consoles.
