wikipedia on a pda's storage card?

mkennedy

hi.
can anyone tell me where i can get wikipedia for pocketpc on cd/dvd?
the problem is it's a massive file and i don't have a good connection to download it.

so i'd prefer to purchase it on cd/dvd if that's possible.

anyone know if it's available in this way?
i bought tomeraider a while back with the intention of eventually getting this great resource.

i use wikipedia a lot online with my pocket pc but it would be extremely cool to have such a vast mine of information with me at all times on a storage card.

thanks.

for general website downloading winhttrack can download a copy of it but you'd need a rather large card.

good old Werner and his roundups

thanks but do you know if it's possible to purchase a hardcopy of the 1gb tr3 file on cd/dvd instead of having to download these massive files.

afaik the 2gb/4gb tr3 wikipedia files are purchaseable but what about the <1gb ones?

i'm more interested in the 1gb files as they won't take up a whole memory card by themselves.

btw, do you have this yourself on your device and if so is it as handy as it seems.

thanks.

No, I don't have it.

I only remembered that link when I saw your post. I am around computers all day, so there is no benefit to me wasting precious space on my Atom with stuff like that. I prefer to waste the space with the likes of Jazz Jackrabbit and an Atari 8-bit emulator.
