installation using HTTP does not work

Post by GLvova »

I've tried to install salixOS from my server using HTTP-installation mode but without positive result.
The error was not much informative, something like "Can not download the packages *.t?z"
Here is the part of httpd-access log :
10.1.2.222 10.1.2.100 - [09/Nov/2014:22:29:31 +0200] "GET /net/salix/core/*.t?z.desc HTTP/1.1" 404 345 "-" "Wget"
10.1.2.222 10.1.2.100 - [09/Nov/2014:22:29:31 +0200] "GET /net/salix/core/*.t?z HTTP/1.1" 404 345 "-" "Wget"
As far as I know wget utility can not work with patterns like `*' or `?' in file-names for HTTP protocol.
The command should be like below:
wget -r -np -nd --accept="*.t?z" $host/$path/

I do understand that in most cases users install the system from CD/DVD, however net-install modes should work as well.
Could you please check it.
