There is an error in RH's wget-1.6-2 docs.
It reads /etc/wgetrc then $HOME/.wgetrc if it exists.
To prove this, install the strace rpm from CD#2 and run:

        strace wget 2>&1 | grep -i rc

Some of Red Hat's rules for packages from Red Hat:

        1. Nothing uses /usr/local.
        2. System-wide configuration files go in /etc.
        3. Per-user configuration files go in user HOME directories.

Red Hat fixed wget to follow those rules, 
but the wget docs didn't get fixed.
