installation of firefox


I have installed Slackware 14.1 without any DE or WM so I can install DroplineGnome.

But to install the installer I need a browser like Firefox so I can download it.

How can I install for example Firefox so I can browse with tvm ?

Try using "lynx" from the CLI.

You don't need a browser to download the software. You can use wget for that, try it with this one:
Code:
wget http://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dropline-gnome/Dropline%20Installer/3.6/dropline-installer-3.6_r4104-i686-1dl.txz
This will download the installer from a fast server in Germany.
