Hi folks, With M$ I.E. I used to go to a web site and do "Make available off-line" which would copy the current page plus pages linked down to as many levels as I wanted.

Now that I have moved to Linux, can somebody please tell me how to do the same under Konqueror?

I would definitely have a look at man wget. It's a command line tool rather than a Konqueror one, but it's very useful and can certainly do what you want (following links even to pages you didn't view while online, for example) among other things. The OP. I believe, does not want to download web sites he only wants

In the end, it is the same. The web site will have to be downloaded and saved in the cache... transparently, but saved.

I think the question is how does one make the browser actually use the cache when one is offline. Normally it will just give a "host not found" error or similar. In konqueror, in the cache settings, you have an "offline browser mode", which I believe does just that

Hi Hamish, Fergus, Ken, Patrick, Carlos, Anders, Sorry to be so late responding; wrong time zone... I found the aforementioned "offline browser mode", and the drop-down "Download Manager" button, but cannot get any activity. The download opens the links and allows me to select for download but the copy/download window just opens and stops dead. The "offline browser mode" just allows me to browse cached information. I can open each page in turn and copy each page in turn, but it is far too slow and the worst part is that, because of cross-referencing I'm not sure if I have collected them all. Anyway, I'll keep trying. Thanks for your attempts. Regards, Colin

Other than the way you have restated, is there a difference?

One requires the user to manually download and store the pages -and- remember to delete them when finished, the other does not. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
