I'll guess that you mean you want to browse around the web. Here's how most of us do it: Get an Internet account somewhere Install FreeBSD Set up ppp to dial into the Internet provider Use a web browser. One web browser for FreeBSD you can use is called lynx, but it only gives you the text. If you want to see the web graphically, you wil have to set up the X Window System on your FreeBSD machine, and then install something like Netscape from the freebsd ports collection. For information about how to do all of this, try starting at http://www.freebsd.org/newbies.html If you get stuck, you can write to another address for help, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. Try to work it out yourself first though, there's a lot of documentation to help you.
