HI,

try one of lynx or links. On most installs they are already installed and if not so, it's no problem to install them. links is able to show frames, so it's more comfortable to view sites with this one.

i would highly reccoment w3m for text browsing. you can take a look at the HP for it here: http://w3m.sourceforge.net/

it handles some things better than links. i would stay away from lynx, its a bit dated now, and besides, links is from the same guys and has further capabilities than lynx does.

There should be a file named README and perhaps INSTALL. Read them. They will tell you exactly what you need to know.
