  • Web browser for OpenBSD on Sparc

    From Michael@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 14 17:48:50 2016
    I have brought my old Sun Ultra 5 back to life with OpenBSD. The only OS
    I was able to successfully install. There are a few applications I would
    like to have running on the machine to make it somewhat useful. A web
    browser is one of those applications. Does anyone know of any web
    browser packages that will run on OpenBSD for Sparc?

    Yes, OBSD runs very well on Ultra 5 and 10. (I have run Solaris 10 on
    them but OBSD is far and away better.)

    Presumably lynx will not do and you want a graphical browser?

    I dont know about the hardware specs, but I would presume Firefox should
    also do?
