And just how does this help me? {^_-}

It's hardly more useful in KDE


And should have workable CLI access as well as GUI access. (That is the
main issue I have with HTML pages. Much of the time I rather prefer to
work at the primitive level. I keep trying to do things that the authors
of the GUI tools didn't quite contemplate. So I go to the commandline
to edit the configuration files directly. {^_-})

links (not elinks) is quite good in a framebuffer. Picture me looking for a house to buy, displaying photos on my 20" sunscreen in a Linux framebuffer.

Better, picture the monitor:-)




Same with googeling. You have to put the correct search criteria in the
search window.  If you are just learning (and this applies to Linux
newbies or gurus delving into a new area for the first time) you can
search for hours and not find something that is in the top ten list of a
correctly addressed search simply because you are not asking properly.
As was mentioned in an earlier post here, if you want to answer by
saying "google for it", suggest some search criteria.


But what is it properly called? Fugitives from Windows very frequently
get frustrated because they have learned Windows perverted jargon instead
of the original words for the concepts that the 'ix people invented.

"how to" is often a good start:-)

Then a few words key to your desire:
build rpm
compile gnome
install girlfriend
(Apparently you cannot install GirlFriend 2.0 at the same time as GirlFriend 1.0. You must uninstall GirlFriend 1.0 first)

"how to" install justa dirty old woman jdow (yes, really) (found an interesting digression by a well-known electronics engineer)
