Apps :: wget with ssl support

Well here's what I tried so far
In aterminal at dsl@box:
1. mkdir wget
2. moved the gnu-utils.dsl to /wget from home/dsl (previously had downloaded file)
3. cd wget
4. tar zxf gnu-utils.dsl usr/bin/wget

response:
tar: usr/bin/wget: Not found in archive

Any ideas?

Mean while, some time later:
I managed to extract the wget command and it seems to execute in my home directory fine.

Thanks for sending the wget file.

I was wondering what does this do ( at a high level)? I looked through the script but without careful study it is not readily obvious. I assume it turns wget into to an application that can now run in the dsl environment.
