I went back and looked at my copy some more. It also doesn't (?) present that handy part about prerequisites. If that's something that's also needed, I took a hint from wayback-machine-downloader [0] and tried searching apt-get's repositories for similar. Ended up with "webhttrack" which says: "Description-en: Copy websites to your computer, httrack with a Web interface WebHTTrack is an offline browser utility, allowing you to download a World Wide website from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting html, images, and other files from the server to your computer, using a step-by-step web interface. . WebHTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. WebHTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system." One issue would be for those websites that use hard (full, long) links instead of the relative ones. I just viewed your online link's source code, and the links, thankfully, appear to be relative. Thank you, Debian Developers! PS Looking one more time at WebHTTrack's self-description, fingers crossed that maybe it creates relative links as it works its magic, regardless of what the original website's webmaster did. THAT would nice! Cindy :) [0] https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader -- Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
