Wget use

[Karl Larsen]

    I decided to get the F7 live CD .iso file and use wget. I did the 
first part using my web browser and I found a source for this file in CA 
which is as close as possible. I had to find a source that uses FTP. As 
the man pages say wget will only work with a FTP source.

    So in a terminal I set up wget by using the copy function on F7 
where you just take what was in the web browser and copy it over to the 
terminal. It is a long bunch of letters and numbers so this method gets 
it right. And here is what the terminal looks like with the download in 
progress:

    I plan to let it run for awhile and then stop it. Then restart and 
see what happens. I have used this before but never had to restart the 
d/l :-)
