Obviously, wget did not fetch the images, but what I did instead, was loading the site to netscape composer, and saved it locally. Netscape saves the images, too only links between eg. chapter1 <-> chapter2 will not work (well, I can survive this...) Thank you anyway joerg PS.: the mirror option "-m" to wget makes it copy the whole site (www.somesite.anywhere), not only the selected page + level 1 link depth... I killed this process very soon. -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
