I seem to recall that ages before someone posted some ideas (or a hint maybe?) which included a http retriever in bash (using its socket interface). IIRC it was called bget (or maybe bashget?...). It's purpose was providing something akin to wget that is useable right after completing LFS, so that one can fetch further packages and get started with BLFS.
to decode base64 encoding, you can use uudecode. So together with /dev/tcp creating your own simple 'bget' should be doable purely with bash - If thats the route you want to take! -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
