I'm not sure I understand your recommendation. The Upgrade to GNU Utils in the DSL menu performs the install resolving (removing) the sym links to the original utilities. I was hoping to avoid having to deal with this but perhaps it is necessary. Can you provide some guidance on how to do what you are suggesting.

You would first download the gnu-utils from a mirror manually (using a browser or the wget version in busybox); don't use the menu or it will automatically mydls-load all of it. Then you would extract only the wget binary from the tarball. Its path in the tarball is /usr/local/bin/wget.

Alternatively, I can just send you the gzipped binary I extracted from gnu-utils.dsl when I looked to see if it was in /bin, /usr/bin, or /usr/local/bin. It's 66kb zipped. Let me know if you want it.
