This is exactly the page I read to install wget.
However, there is no way from within a freshly installed LFS environment
to download anything from the Internet using HTTP. One would have to
rely on foresight and the host OS, be it another Linux or the liveCD,
and remember to download wget or curl before booting from the fresh LFS
environment.
Yes, FTP exists and is a viable way of getting wget, but it seems a that
both wget and curl are of lesser priority on BLFS.
For instance, OpenSSL is the first package installed in BLFS. How does
one get the package? OK, via FTP, but that's not obvious at all.
BLFS is not linear like LFS. I think wget is typically the first
package I install outside of LFS.
