User Feedback :: Placement of DSL-n



Hi,

 I mirror the ibiblio DSL archive for a small group of friends and the recent placement of the dsl-n and bad-ones directories under mydsl is messing me up royally :-(  I can understand why the bad-ones directory is where it is but does the dsl-n directory really belong under mydsl?  I actually expected a whole new /pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall-not/ directory structure.

PS
 Can someone please explain how to use wildcards with wget and its the -X option; here's part of my script:

 wget -m -k -K -E -nH --cut-dirs=4 ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl -X /pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/apps/bad-ones,/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/games/bad-ones,/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/gtk2/bad-ones,/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/multimedia/bad-ones,/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/net/bad-ones,/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/system/bad-ones,/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/dsl-n

This:
 wget -m -k -K -E -nH --cut-dirs=4 ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl -X /pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/*/bad-ones,/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/dsl-n

doesn't work for me :-(

I'm using wget version 1.8.1.

Peace and Long Life,
