Since it works with root privileges chances are you just need to use sudo. This is the acceptable method for elevating privileges.

In this case, running: httrack clug.ca copies the clug website into whatever directory you are in when you run the command. I am not sure how much easier a program can get. Of course you will want to become familiar with some of the command line flags (man httrack) to limit how much of a site you copy. In particular, the command above goes and grabs content from several other domains because they are linked in the clug site. Httrack does not go out of it's way to hide itself, so you will find that it gets blocked a lot (this is true of wget and curl as well). You might think that the program has too many switches and is complicated, but what you will realise is that the task you are doing is deceptively complex. There are simply so many variables and scenarios that the program has to consider. Other programs (GUI or otherwise) are simple or complex depending on the task. Blender and Ardour are complex, but then so are the tasks that they accomplish (3d rendering and multi-track audio sequencing/mixing). "Easy" is such a relative and misleading term. I am also curious what it is that you are trying to do. This may be a case of using the wrong tool for the job. With so many choices I find the most difficult part is just knowing what package or project best solves my problem(s). Hth, __ G >
