[tt]wget -U= -r http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/[/tt]

Thank you tim that -U= worked wonders =) will need a bit of work after the mirror but its WORKING not sure why it works but... it does.

man this is a hella big websuck

PhpWiki offers an option for dumping the whole Wiki into static HTML pages. However, since those pages are dumped to the server filesystem, it is available for the admin user only.

Not only because of that do I hope that df returns safely from his hike.

However, I wouldn't flame the Wiki. If you had a look at the old (static HTML) FAQ, you'll realize how much better the FAQ has gotten within a few weeks, just by allowing the bunch of us to edit it...

i think i would discourage people to websuck the FAQ this way (i'm doing it atm): you'll get plenty of 'actions=likePage', 'action=diff', 'action=debuginfo', etc.

i'll try to put an archive of it online once i'll be done.

[Pype.Clicker]

hmm ... too bad: most of the pages appears as XML documents rather than webpages. I fear most browsers will not like the sucked version... and you"ll be sucking the forum aswell.

When is df due back? :-\

The only "action" you'll be interested in is action=browse, by the way - and that's the default. I don't know about wget -U=, but you want index.php/HomePage, and neither HomePage?action=edit nor HomePage?action=diff or anything.

That being said, all we really need is df calling http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.php/P ... on=ziphtml and linking the resulting ZIP file for download...

[Pype.Clicker]

true ... i wanted to try it for myself and warn people at what i saw ... The wget has been running for about 2 hours and i end up with about 50MB of datas, among which very few are interresting. So don't wget' it.

When is df due back?

He said around 6 months... so it will be a while before we see him.

Who's admining the board while he's away? Could they please get 149.99.220.124 banned?

[AGI1122]

Um, look at the icons around my name and group.

If you still havn't figured it out... I am admining while he is gone.

Kind of funny your asking an admin who is admining...

Anyway, why do you need that ip banned? Please supply a link to any posts or such for me to look as well as member profile if it's a member.
