[Fink-users] one more point of confusion

[Michael Bovee]

Okay one more,

I wanted to try to 'wget' some stuff from that there internet. Just to be sure I tried it in Terminal first and got 'command not found'. I figured this was not part of the default install anyway, so after messing with troubles with scrollkeeper and such, I installed wget-ssl with Fink and then tried it in an xterm under XDarwin (I use Windowmaker). It worked. But then I got an idea and tried it again in Terminal.app and now it works there too. (?)

So my question is, what do I need XDarwin and Windowmaker for? My guess would be that a lot of other apps won't work outside XDarwin, but I am confused nonetheless. Is there a way to 'activate' wget as part of the basic MacOS X BSD package? If I ask 'which wget' it is the one in /sw/bin/, so I haven't inadvertently just started using a built in BSD version.

Thanks,
--Michael
