That's acceptable to us. We call it as "busybox wget" anyway when it matters, and in other places, it is a mere user experience tweak - it will not break anything if another wget was used. GNU wget does kinda cater to this use: you can specify it in the .wgetrc file, but then that's only portable to GNU wget. - Lauri -- http://www.fastmail.fm - One of many happy users: http://www.fastmail.fm/help/overview_quotes.html _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
