"--inet4" or -4 options are available in curl but not in the current version of wget. I and a colleague found similar issues with suse 9.3 too. We observed that in the ramdisk image, only /proc/sys/net/ipv4 is available ie no ipv6 module seems to be loaded. On the other hand, on a system installed with suse 9.3 (9.1) ipv6 is explicitly loaded as a module (also /proc/sys/net/ipv4 & ipv6 data is available). wget works fine in such an env . But if ipv6 is unloaded (ie rmmod -f ), wget fails and reports the same error "Address family not supported by protocol". Looks like lack of ipv6 module in ramdisk seems to be the problem. I may be wrong. Any ideas ?? I would like to avoid modifying suse ramdisk to insert another ftp client. thanks biju Uwe Gansert <ug@suse.de> wrote: On Thursday 05 January 2006 16:22, kanji linux wrote:
ya the syntax is ftp://IPADDR/pub/file1 . Looks like in my previous mail the text got incorrectly parsed by the mail reader, because i had typed "" inplace of "IPADDR". The result turned out to be garbage.
okay, I expected something like that but you never know.
I had repeated the experiment with sles9, it works fine. But in suse 9.1, wget still returns the same error message. This happens only while executing from within the ramdisk. wget works fine if it is run from a system installed with suse 9.1. Moreover, the md5sum of these two are different though they are of the same version 1.9.1
the different MD5 sum might be. Have you tried to use "wget --inet4-only" or "wget -4"? (I hope that parameter exists on a 9.1 - I don't have a 9.1 installation at hand). -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com --------------------------------- Yahoo!
