hi,

i've got this in my .emacs for using galeon as the browser:

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic
      browse-url-generic-program "galeon"
      browse-url-generic-args (quote ("-n")))

or you can use a built-in browser function like, e.g. w3m-browse-url
(you need the w3m-el emacs package and w3m installed; highly
recommended!) to browse within emacs:

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'w3m-browse-url)

see the help on browse-url-browser-function for other options.

hth,
jao
