Re: How do I conect to the internet from runlevel 3

|I'm not sure if I'm being clear, but to use something like ftp from a

I think yoú'll find that the dialup icon merely runs the program wvdial.
So go to a terminal window and type wvdial and it will probably work.
CLI ftp and web browsers exist, e.g. ncftp, w3m, lynx. Or as suggested,
grab all the files you need from your familiar GUI before you start
installing.
