I ran into this problem (missing wget) after installing from the F10
LiveCD, so I can relate. However, I've no experience with curl, and I
must say, curl --help is somewhat intimidating. Is it as
straightforward to use as wget, especially for someone that may be new
(e.g., the majority of those using documentation on a new installation
of Fedora)?
The basic usage is simple.
curl <url>
If you want to suggest wget be (re-)added, that is a fedora-desktop list
discussion.
