[lug] Problem with wget

[Kenneth D. Weinert]

You can do this - you'll get a few extra files, but I was starting to copy
down the .zip files.  Note that it will download the html files and then
look through them, I think. The order isn't real clear to me.

wget -m http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/tiger2004se/

Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:
    
"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it
because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
