Solve : Slackware Wget and Fetch?

1.	Solve : Slackware Wget and Fetch?
Answer» I just INSTALLED Slackware, and I need to install sshd. It is installed by default, but the keygen's are missing. When I USE wget or fetch I get "Command Not Found". What can I do?Have you looked in /usr/bin for wget? you need to get it then. http://secunia.com/advisories/17485/ Why don't you use Slackpkg? Or get the tgz files via ftp? Sneakernet? I'll just use CD. Seems the first CD for Slackware is only the core system components.Quote from: Skitz on October 29, 2008, 12:59:00 AM I'll just use CD. Seems the first CD for Slackware is only the core system components. Pretty standard, that, for Linux distros on CD-ROM. First disk for core, 2nd disk and onwards for supplementary stuff. I must admit I was a bit confused about why you didn't just use an install disk. Actually I don't understand why you couldn't download stuff using your web browser, PRESUMING you have one? Or are you running a console-only install? The REASON I didn't use an install disk is because I really didn't want to download and burn 5 CD's. I thought I'd just build it up from scratch. Maybe I should install the second CD, I'd SAY it will have wget or fetch. And yes, I'm using console only.
