How do I overcome this?

Good point! wget is available from the fremantle tools repository. See this link for details on installation.

That's really only there as a convenience. As an alternative, you could just point your browser to that URL and it should prompt you to save the file to you device. If you do this then I think life will possibly be easier if you copy the downloaded tar.gz file to /home/user before proceeding, i.e., save to "Your Nokia N900" and then do the following in xterm:

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/iplayer-dl-latest.tar.gz /home/user

If you want to do some tidying up you can delete both copies of the tar.gz file after extracting.

Cheers,
Jan
