      hi all,

      i've problem installing wget in 2.3

      [2.3-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/root: pkg install wget
      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue…
      pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
      Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
      pfSense repository is up-to-date.
      All repositories are up-to-date.
      pkg: No packages available to install matching 'wget' have been found in the repositories

      I know there is a lot of changes with 2.3 and packages.
      Is there a simple way to install wget ? Adding FreeBSD repository ? How ?

      thanks in advance.
      C.

            curl is in the base system, so is fetch. For most thing you'd need or want wget for on a firewall, fetch is fine, and curl will work if fetch will not. There's really no need for wget.
