I ran into this problem (missing wget) after installing from the F10
LiveCD, so I can relate. However, I've no experience with curl, and I
must say, curl --help is somewhat intimidating. Is it as
straightforward to use as wget, especially for someone that may be new
(e.g., the majority of those using documentation on a new installation
of Fedora)?
