Did someone remove wget from the live iso?

I don't know about removing it, but it's in the extra repo, which means it won't be on the iso. However, you can install it into the live environment if necessary.

Have you tried curl? Chances are it will do what you want to do.

Installing wget just so I can download my home brewed arch installer is not cool.
I'll give curl a try
Thanks

If you have your own installer, you should really create a custom iso that includes it.

That's not a bad idea, but since the installer is made to be usable for anyone I prefer to download/execute it from the latest vanilla iso

curl is just as easy to use as wget:

curl http://example.com/install.sh > install.sh

You can even execute the installer without creating a file:

curl http://example.com/install.sh | bash

I just realized that when piping my perl curses script into bash, input from the keyboard seems to get lost.
You know any trick I can use to make the keyboard work?

Currently I'm using two commands:

# https://raw.github.com/corebob/archibal … /kickstart > kickstart
# bash kickstart

This works fine but has a lesser coolness factor

It isn't as cool as:

curl https://raw.github.com/lithid/test/master/test-script.sh |bash

This works well though:

bash <(curl https://raw.github.com/lithid/test/master/test-script.sh)
