I disagree with some of your points:
1 - bandwidth would be the same or less than a cron'd prepare and would
be more "on demand" if run inline at install time. Remember though, this
would require a "check for update" type of flag (not high in bandwidth),
so if any updates were to be pulled, it w

wget is an external program, it really has nothing to do with bash
except that you usually use bash to run it. Perl can also retreive
things from the web, but the LWP module bundle must be installed for
that. Either way, it's a separate thing from the core of the language

Yeah, the prepare script is nice and does the job with wget (really, any
webpuller would do) - but why bash it? (not to bash bash - 8-) ) Really

Hi Sean,
The file prepare in the \install directory is a bash-script to download
everything you need.
You'll need a unix or linux workstation (or a cygwin installation on windows) to run
it.
If you don't have experience with /unix/linux/cygwin and are having problems, feel
free to ask more help
Hi,
you could use the scripts which were published in the german magazine c't.
They are available at "http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/04/13/194/";. The article
is not available online.
The skript will download all necessary updates with wget.
