Default Web Browser for Centos 3.6

Hi,
I have a hardware box running Centos 3.6. In this box there are some htmls and applets applications running. To access these apps, I must use a web browser.
There is no problem of using other web browser's PC to access these apps
[ I just type on the PC web browser the IP address of the hardware box as:
http://192.168.2.106
and press return, I immediately access the application I want.

This is for the office environment. When I am at the customer site, they may not have other PC for me to access the app in my hardware box.

Here comes..
I am looking for a web browser [rpm or bin file that can be easily install on Centos 3.6], a simple one, graphic capable, that can be running on Centos 3.6; and instruction how to install it.

I tried Dillo-0.8.6 but it didn't go anywhere. The browser got pop up but I cannot connect or browse anywhere.
Thanks for your help
Tam

I've only used CentOS in a text only environment... not really sure about the exact install process for GUI web browsers for CentOS, but you might try the konquerer browser available at http://www.konqueror.org/

Default Konqueror doesn't go such far

Hi John,
I tried to download the installer/builder for kqe 3.5.5 and "make install". The installer did not go far enough for the installation. It tried to ftp to some web sites for getting more files but failed.
If I have to use the text base browser, which one that you reccommend?
Would you point me to where I can get it and how to do installation on Centos 3.6.
Thanks for your help
Tam

lynx, as far as I know, is the most popular text based web browser. To see if it's installed on your system simply type "lynx" without the quotes.

lynx isn't as robust as *modern* browsers, although it does handle browsing of many sites quite well.

If lynx isn't on your system you can install it with the following command:

yum install lynx
