I'd like to use Yast Online Update (YOU) to get all the SLES8 fixes at once but can't connect to the internet from my mainframe. As a work-around I'm trying to figure out how to use wget to download all the fixes. I plan to run wget on my PC to download fixes to a Windows share that I can mount on my SLES8 guest and then point YOU to the Windows directories. Right now I'm stuck, can't get wget to download the fixes although it connects ok to Suse's web site. Leland Lucius in Feb 21, 2003 discussion on this list, gave his wget command string to download fixes but that command string isn't working well for me.
I run: wget --tries=1 --mirror --cut-dirs=5 --no-host-directories --http-user=xxxx --http-passwd=xxxxx --accept='*-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].rpm,patch-*' http://sdb.suse.de/download/s390/update/SuSE-SLES/8/ and wget starts by looking for a "index.html" file and doesn't find it: "--11:49:04-- http://sdb.suse.de/download/s390/update/SuSE-SLES/8/ => `index.html' Resolving sdb.suse.de... 195.135.220.8 Connecting to sdb.suse.de[195.135.220.8]:80... failed: No such file or directory. Giving up." Any hints or tips on how to use wget to get these patches would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
