accessing Webmin -- LAMP
Feeling kinda dumb here. I have a fresh install of LAMP in a Virtual Box machine. I am a Linux newbie, so I don't know much about what I'm doing, but I can usually figure stuff out eventually. But I can't seem to access the Webmin. I've attached a screenshot of the configuration console screen that lists the address links, but how do I get to them? Hitting TAB or the arrow keys doesn't get me anywhere. But I can go to advanced menu or toggle back and forth to the command prompt just fine.
Am I supposed to be able to use the mouse to click the links? (The mouse is neither visible nor usable on the linux screen). Or do I need to type something directly into the command line?
Thanks--and sorry for being so dense.

I'm going to take a guess
I'm going to take a guess here that my invisible mouse pointer is the problem. Inside the linux window it is invisible. Anybody have any suggestions as to how to fix that?
Actually Webmin is a web
Actually Webmin is a web interface. It's not a local UI envirnoment like Windows. Point your browser to the URL shown in the main screen:
Got it...
I didn't realize that by "browser" you meant a browser external to the virtual machine. But I tried it, and it apparently works. :)
That seems non-obvious enough to me that it should probably be in the documentation if it is not already. I had assumed that I had to get to a browser inside the virtual machine. But I guess not.
Thank you,
