Bug Problems Downloading and Installing Stuff
HI to everyone, I have been for a very long time in my life a GUI user, and now that i have to use a Solaris 5 terminal, i am not sure how to do some things:

Downloading stuff from the internet:

How do i do that?
in a GUI you just click on the link and start downloading automatic, but i have no idea of what command to use to download from an only text environment, I need to download and install MHonArc 2.6.10 but i just dont have any idea of how to do it.

in the web page they have instruction to use wget command, however it doesnt work on my system Smilie i dont know why...

Thanks

Why doesn't it work - what's the output when you run the command. What does "which wget" give you?

Also; can you download the software you want via ftp at the command line?

Cheers

If you have a windows machine, you can download to that machine and then ftp it over to the Solaris box.
