Turn FTP globbing on or off. By default, globbing will
be turned on if the URL contains a globbing characters
(an asterisk, e.g.). Globbing means you may use the
special characters (wildcards) to retrieve more files
from the same directory at once, like wget
ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/*.msg. Globbing currently works
only on UNIX FTP servers.
try quoting your URL so that it does not get expanded by the shell:
wget ..... 'http://address/*.rpm'

       di-netboot-assistant [-hv] [--verbose] [--offline] {[install image...] | [purge image...] | [rebuild-menu] } [--arch=arch]

DESCRIPTION

       di-netboot-assistant is a simple tool to download and extract latest debian installer netboot images.

       Unless the -h, --help, -v, or --version option is given, one of the commands below must be present.

       install
	   install  is	followed  by  a  repository name desired for installation. The repository name has to be one of those declared in /etc/di-
	   netboot-assistant/di-sources.list. The image will  be  installed/extracted  in  the	default  location  (declared  in  /etc/di-netboot-
	   assistant/di-netboot-assistant.conf).

       purge
	   purge will remove a previously installed d-i netboot image, according to the image name specified.

OPTIONS

       rebuild-menu
	   rebuild-menu  will  rebuild the to level menu. It's only usefull if you have installed some client images that have such top level menu
	   (like i386, amd64 and ia64). This command takes no argument.

       -h, --help Print this message and exit

       -v, --version
	      Print script version and exit

	      Specify the architecture you want to install or purge. The architecture you can use for the  install  action  must  be  declared	in
	      /etc/di-netboot-assistant/di-sources.list.  The architecture you can use for purge action in one of those you previously installed !
	      The usable architectures can be listed by leaving --arch= empty. The default architecture is the current one (as reported by  dpkg's
	      APT::Architecture).

       --verbose
	      Verbose messages

       --offline
	      Don't download the file (simply re-extract and build menu)

PROXY

       di-netboot-assistant uses wget or curl to actually download the files. You can set the environnement variables accordingly.
