Since those are completely unrelated, I'll post a few messages. Apologies for the inconvenience. During installation, Lynx is set as the default html browser. This is pretty sensible, since most users won't be able to start an X server from scratch. Anyhow, when trying to go to the html Documentation from /stand/sysinstall, the following error message appears: Unable to fetch package lynx-2.7.1 from selected media. No package add will be done. Now how am I to read the docs? it would be a nice idea to add some lynx version to the default packages installed on all machines, since html is such a nice documentation format. No, no answer neccessary -- I already know how to got to the ports.For beginners this would be an unresolvable chicken-egg problem circle.
