I think you have one or perhaps two errors here - The first is that you've got typos in the address/protocol for that file - (a) you should have http://downloads... with a colon, and (b) it looks like you put a space after the '//'. If I try wget 'http// ' I get the same error (in my case I then got an error for the next line, downloads.sf/path/to/file, because no protocol had been specified). I also suspected that you might have failed to put a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf - that would give a similar error but specifiying the http://downloads... part in the error message. See section 7.2.3 if you did miss that, and if in doubt use the google DNS addresses at the bottom of that page. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
