I created ~/.wgetrc and put into it simple options such as: --mirror
but when I run $ wget on a target, I get a syntax error for every option in that file for the line following the option line. The debug option apparently only works if the rc file syntax is correct. For example, with no uncommented line in ~/.wgetrc other than the line number 12 "--mirror", I get: ~$ wget http://www.USS-Irex.info wget: Syntax error in /home/brownh/.wgetrc at line 13. -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
