Download a whole website to your computer.
 

Sometimes, a guy just finds a whole website he would like to examine in
detail--when offline. Such as downloading it your laptop and taking it on
vacation with you, on a plane, lunch hour at work, etc...

Here is a link to Httrack, a program which will do that for you...
becareful about setting it to ignore robot rules and turning it lose on a
LARGE website... you could be downloading for days...
http://www.httrack.com

Warmest regards,
John

Thirty year old technology--wasn't it amazing?

wget --recursive --convert-links - also works a treat. Linux of course!

There are many alternatives, Httrack is simply the best... on Linux wget is
a good alternative...

wget is a good alternative on windows, too.

Linux From Scratch has 'em all beat, all you need is the linux kernel and
you build your own OS... plus, then you can claim you are a REAL unix

For those that want to play with Linux under Windows have a look at the
cygwin system. (http://www.cygwin.com) You get the Linux CLI and if you
want you can also run XWindows. You can probably run wget inside it as
well although I havent checked. For a while I use to run XWindows apps
from my "remote" Linux box on the W32 screen. (I have since converted to
running Wine (windows emulator) under Linux or a VNC connection to my
W98 laptop under the ebd!)

Cygwin is kind of handy for die hard W32 users that only need a little
Linux now and then! There has also been a number of cross platform
projects that need the cygwin libary and this can be compiled to run on
both OS's. A good example of this is the RDFT code under Digtrx.

Oh yeah, we will get right on that--run one OS so we can run another right
on top of it...

Dual boot, run your games in windows, go linux for root hacking... don't
run windows, so you can run linux on top of it, so you can go root hacking
into the old guys computers here... they arent' a challenge anyway--go beat
up on other teenagers...

httrack for linux (command line) is imo better than wget with parameters...
unfortunately - with wget I couldn't get some webpages so I started
to use HTTRACK on both windows and linux boxes (linux version is better
form me just because I can leave it screen'ed on one of the servers).
Anyway - HTTRACK is very good piece of software.

Tried Gentoo - spent too much time playing with the OS instead of getting
things done :-) Went back to RedHat.
