Bug Description
User "root" (where the installer is running) may have a '.wgetrc' file specifying directories (or even host-directories).
If so, wget in SUSV3.POSTINST will put the download in one place, but the script will not look there -- it will look in $TMPDIR.
This could easily be avoided by specifying -nd -nH on the wget command line.
Really, it's not nice to make too many assumptions about the user's (root's) configuration.
