Can't use any X-based browser in the virtual consoles. Could probably use a text-mode browser such as lynx but I have no experience there. > If I can, > please give explicit instructions.

Use a terminal program (the name goes back to ancient TTY hard-wired, even hard-copy terminals - from the days of punch-cards, paper tape, and other nostalgia) - konsole, gnome-terminal, or the venerable xterm.
