wget with sub directories

Fionn101

can someone tell me the command line option please to get the following site downloaded to my local machine
http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/toc.html

I'd like it to download the html links of this page. and when I try just
wget http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/toc.html it only d/l's the one html file.

should I first be trying to get the links from the html page into a txt file to fee into wget ? or can I download the site from a directory (with all files) pointof view?

thanks in advance

ressem

wget -rl 4 http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/toc.html

Downloads the page and all files on it to a depth of 4 links.

thanks for the reply ressem. I tried this but I get a permission denied error(fair enough)

today I was thinking it would perhaps be best if I do visit each page on their site and save off the text,that way I get the end result I'd like (which is an off-line copy of this howto) and they (linux.org) would get to serve out their fair share of google adwords and keep the site alive.

A win win situation I reckon. (ahem..)

If you use the -k (--convert-links) switch the local copy is rebuilt for local browsing

worked a charm, thanks .

oonly annoying part was stripping out the google syndycation ads.

Thanks all
