Hello jida...@jidanni.org, Whats going on here? Why do I get your 2 messages on my cellphone, even if I am not subscribed?

The simple conversion from Info leaves some atrocious junk. Have a slice: server response, save: see HTTP Options, .(line 217) session cookies: see HTTP Options, .(line 141) signal handling: see Signals, . (line 6) spanning hosts: see Spanning Hosts, . (line 6) spider: see Download Options, .(line 186) Plus the entire GPL. Also the whole list of boring contributors. Yes I know GNU projects are supposed to have different looking man pages, but this is the most special one I've yet seen :-( END OF REPLIED MESSAGE -- # Debian GNU/Linux Consultant ## Development of Intranet and Embedded Systems with Debian GNU/Linux itsystems@tdnet Franceitsystems@tdnet Owner Michelle KonzackOwner Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 (homeoffice) Gewerbe Strasse 3 50, rue de Soultz 77694 Kehl/Germany 67100 Strasbourg/France Tel office: +49-176-86004575 Tel mobil: +33-6-61925193 Tel mobil: +49-177-9351947 http://www.itsystems.tamay-dogan.net/ http://www.flexray4linux.org/ http://www.debian.tamay-dogan.net/ http://www.can4linux.org/ Jabber linux4miche...@jabber.ccc.de Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ signature.pgp Description: Digital signature

Yes I know GNU projects are supposed to have different looking man pages, but this is the most special one I've yet seen :-( Please note that Debian's wget manpage is created in a different way than upstream's, which does not have such artifacts. This was a decision made by the Debian package maintainer, and does not affect GNU's project. I don't fault the Debian maintainer for choosing to do it his way. The trade-off is that GNU's manpage lacks the completeness of the information provided by the Texinfo manual; his direct conversion for the Debian package is complete, but ugly. -- Micah J.
