Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun!

|
|
|
|
<p>The first thing that people think about when they hear the word Internet is
|
|
“surfing the net”. Or looking at websites using a web browser. This is
|
|
probably by far the most popular use of the Internet for the average user.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Slackware provides popular graphical web browsers in the “XAP” series, as
|
|
well as text mode browsers in the “N” series. We'll take a quick look at some
|
|
of the most common options below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="SECT2">
|
|
<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN4776" name="AEN4776">13.8.1 <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">lynx</tt></a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>(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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To start <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>, just type <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt> at the
|
|
prompt:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<pre class="SCREEN">
|
|
<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">lynx</kbd>

|
|
|
|
<p><img src="basic-network-commands/lynx.png" /></p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>You may want to specify a site for <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt> to open to:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
|
|
<tr>
|
|

|
|
<pre class="SCREEN">
|
|
<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">lynx http://www.slackware.com</kbd>
|

</pre>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt> prints the command keys and what they do at the bottom
|
|
of the screen. The up and down arrow keys move around the document, <kbd
|
|
class="USERINPUT">Enter</kbd> selects the highlighted link, and the <kbd
|
|
class="USERINPUT">left arrow</kbd> goes back to the previous page. Typing <kbd
|
|
class="USERINPUT">d</kbd> will download the currently selected file. The <kbd
|
|
class="USERINPUT">g</kbd> command brings up the Go prompt, where you can give <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">lynx</tt> a URL to open.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are many other commands in <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>. You can either consult
|
|
the man page, or type <kbd class="USERINPUT">h</kbd> to get the help screen for more
|
|
information.</p>
|

<div class="SECT2">
|
|
<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN4813" name="AEN4813">13.8.2 <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">links</tt></a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Just like <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">links</tt> is a textmode
|
|
web browser, where you do all the navigation using the keyboard. However, when you press
|
|
the <kbd class="USERINPUT">Esc</kbd> key, it will activate a very convenient pulldown
|
|
menu on the top of the screen. This makes it very easy to use, without having to learn
|
|
all the keyboard shortcuts. People who do not use a text browser every day will
|
|
appreciate this feature.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt class="COMMAND">links</tt> seems to have better support for both frames and
|
|
tables, when compared to <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>.</p>

class="COMMAND">wget</tt></a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt class="COMMAND">wget</tt>(1) is a command line utility that will download files
|
|
from a specified URL. While not an actual web-browser, <tt class="COMMAND">wget</tt> is
|
|
used primarily to grab whole or partial web sites for offline viewing, or for fast
|
|
download of single files from HTTP or FTP servers instead. The basic syntax is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<pre class="SCREEN">

<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">wget <url></kbd>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can also pass options. For example, this will download the Slackware web site:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
|
|
<tr>
|
|

|
|
</pre>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt class="COMMAND">wget</tt> will create a <tt
|
|
class="FILENAME">www.slackware.com</tt> directory and store the files in there, just as
|
|
the site does.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt class="COMMAND">wget</tt> can also download files from FTP sites; just specify an
|
|
FTP URL instead of an HTTP one.</p>
