Wget -c

#1 Post by UNCNDL1 »

I came across an interesting Linux distribution that I have not yet used but would like to as soon as the download finishes...
There is some interesting reading on this site: http://www.elivecd.org/
They have a hybrid iso file available as well as an img file which the developer prefers as the primary first choice.
He recommends usb-imagewriter which I was able to download from here and install on my debian MX-16:
https://pkgs.org/download/usb-imagewriter
I downloaded the 64 bit version and used the Gdebi installer in MX...
They suggest a name brand usb (not brand x from you know where)...
you might try going to terminal and typing this into it and letting it download:
wget -c http://www.elivecd.org/downloads/other/ ... ta_usb.img
There is also a hybrid iso version that is the 2nd best choice found here:
wget -c http://www.elivecd.org/downloads/other/ ... hybrid.iso
This obviously is not for the faint of heart, but once it downloads and you run usb image writer it should make you a believer...
Time will tell.

You mean scrolling within a document?

Disable two finger scrolling.

I currently have a wget command that is recursively transferring a large ftp archive between two servers. Started last Thursday, still running now.
In fact it's the Windows version of wget.

I use to keep the portable version for windows of that penguins program. Run it on someone laptop at work then walk away. They would be really confused and come get me. I would tell them oh no it looks like you got that new virus. Lmao.
