Since you're the second person to respond this way, I must not have been clear enough in my original email. I did not mean to say that wget provides the same functionality as w3m. I only wanted to remind everyone that, even if w3m is removed from the default install, there are other tools which implement the relevant protocols for accessing web content non-interactively, and I don't think that should change. > We can debate whether an interactive text browser belongs in the > default server seed, or if we simply document how to install and use > it in the Server Guide. I'd like to see an interactive web browser > remain on the server, though. I defer to the server team on this point; my main concern is with removing it from standard. Note that this saves a megabyte or so on the CDs, and every bit helps. -- - mdz -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
