+  A command line program that retrieves files from web servers and saves
+  them using the 'Contiki File System' (CFS). It can be compiled and run
+  in the 'minimal-net' target by typing the following commands:
+
+    cd examples/wget
+    make
+    ./wget.minimal-net
+
+  Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
+  platform/minimal-net/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
