You'd need to install a cli browser, for the standard install. (Or a PDF viewer, IIRC.) You can go back and change your options for the handbook port if you want as well - one of the other options is to install it in plain text format, either as well or instead. (Other formats there are options for include PDF, Postscript, and a couple of HTML options.) Daniel T.
