Wget

[Thomas Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

I am trying to learn to backup the web sites of interest to me, the wiki
and tass home page. I started with the wiki which I think is the smaller of
the two.

> wget -r--convert-links http://wiki...

This got me all the stuff (at least a lot of it) but the convert links did
not seem to work.  This seems to get me a home page link and a sub
directory with what looks like most of the wiki content.  I get the wiki
home page when I point my browser at the main downloaded file, but when I
click on something on the page it tries to go out to the internet (which I
have cleverly defeated by unplugging the ethernet cable) to get it.  I
thought the convert was supposed to hook things up locally.

I have obviously done something wrong.   I have read all the wget man page
and note that it even give examples contrary to linux practice, but I have
no clue as to what to do next.
